Crash

I've lived in many places that have pretty bad drivers, though it seems everywhere you go there are some bad apples in the bunch. New Orleans has some of the worst I have say- they just don't follow the rules of the road or even pay attention it seems. I've also been lucky to have never been in a seious car wreck in my life, a few bumps here and there, but never anything terrible....until this past Friday that is.

My boyfriend and I were driving home after eating dinner, taking a side street to get where we needed to go. As we were driving through an intersection where we did not have a stop sign but the intersecting street did a car blew through the stop sign and t-boned into us. It hit on the passenger side (my side since Dan was driving) and spun us 180 degrees and up onto the sidewalk. The side of the car was crunched in pretty badly and I had to shove while Dan pulled to get the door open. Luckily everyone in both cars was pretty much fine; I've been sore for the past few days and have some pretty impressive bruises from the seatbelt but other than that we were pretty freakin' lucky.

This was definitly one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me and I'll be a very happy person if it never happens again. My mom asked me if I cried when it happened and all I could think was Of Course! It was scary! Driving has become a little more nerve-wracking these past few days and intersections still make me wary, but I can't exactly not drive places now can I? It all just happened so fast and I'm extremely lucky that I can write to you all this(not terribly exciting) post. So wear your seatbelts because they really do help and love to you all :-)
