John and I were in a car accident today....the kids too. This guy was getting off of I-26 at Harbison Blvd, coming around the corner. There are these little plastic posts to remind you to stay in your lane.... We were in the left hand lane, he was supposed to be coming into the right lane. Well, he didn't stay in the right hand lane.... He T-boned the minivan.
Right into my door. Thank God John was driving, or we might've been pushed into the oncoming traffic lane, and/or flipped the vehicle. No one was injured, seriously. John and I both have some muscle pain. We'll be going to the doctor in the morning. There's significant damage to the vehicle; we'll be taking it into the shop tomorrow, and having the claims adjuster come look at it. Obviously, the other guy was at fault. Turns out, he's a diabetic, and his blood sugar had dropped incredibly low, so he wasn't able to control his car. We'll be driving a rental until we know what's going on with ours. I'm kinda hoping they total it (we have GAP insurance). I'm not sure how comfortable I'll feel driving it after this.... The damage looks pretty bad in spots. I'll try to attach some pictures. We'll be buying new car seats tomorrow (babies r us was closed by the time we would've been able to get there and I'm not buying the cheapo ones they have at Wal-Mart). I guess the other guys car insurance will pay for the car seats... We'll see what happens there. I feel like I need a good massage. I saw the car coming, and knew there was no way he was going to make the turn. I thought he was going to hit us with the side of his car...but no, he hit us pretty much dead-on. The exhaust system is leaking fluid, and there's a definite possibility of frame damage. Go to my MySpace to see pictures.... myspace.com/teresawethington You'll have to ask to be my friend, if you're not already....
