So there I was,. minding my own, and following the rules of the road,.. on the way to my weekly meeting at the couseller's office,. when all of a sudden, a young girl decides to pull her minivan right into my lane, where inevebillity would cause our two paths to collide, right there in the middle of that suburbian intersection,. It happened in half a moments time,. apparantly she didn't see me, and pulled out to make her left turn, then upon realising she'd pulled out in front of me, froze. So there I am not knowing whether to swerve to the left or right, slammed on the brakes and just kept sliding until BAM,. my truck collided into her front driver's side door,. cuasing her van to spin around into the opposing lane. In shock I sat for a good three seconds, then realising I wasn't hurt turned to see the sheer horror on her face. I yelled "Are you okay!?",… no answer. In fear I shouted once more ,"ARE YOU HURT!!??" She mumbled a shaken reply which assured me she was just in shock but had no serious injuries. I pulled my truck over alongside the curb and attempted to break my door free but to no avail,. so I scooted over and out of the passenger side door. In a frantic maneuver I sprinted over to where her van had came to stop, once again checking to see if she had been injured, she said something I don't remember but I knew she was okay. My next instinct was to get straight on the phone and call up my mom… "Mom,.. I've had a wreck.." I could feel the horror rip through her. "But everyones okay,. and it wasn't my fault." -She breathed a heavy sigh of releif. It was then that two good samaritans shouted to me that they'd called in the accident and the ambulances were on ther way. Two of them, and a firetruck, and two police cars,.. a bit too much in my oppinion,. but better more than less in this kind of incident. Upon arrival, all the attention was on that dark blue minivan and it's frail driver.  They hurriedly got her into the back of one of the ambulances where she remained for a good while. Meanwhile I stood leaning against the bed of my now crippled vehicle, watching all the comotion.  The firemen sweeping up broken glass,. the police officers flagging traffic around the vehicles that now sat squarely in the center of intersection. My Mom arrived some minutes later and I assured her and the officials I was okay,.. A little shaken up, but okay. The tow trucks arrived a few minutes later to pick up and transport the two broken vehicles to their new destinations at the towing yard. I was assured the insurance would handle everything,. then we all went on our way. Overall,. at least for myself, the experience was a huge break in the monotany that has become my life. From the initial shock of the collision to everything that came after it,… I still remember the disturbing look on that poor girl's face,. a look stemming from the fact that she'd wrecked what was surely her parent's car. Realising it was her who was in the wrong, her who'd caused untold greif upon the lives of her family and herself. Laying awake last night thinking about all the events that unfolded yesterday I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. While other people might have only been thinking about how much money they could make out of the deal,. and all the other bullshit that comes from the insurance companies,. no instead I thought to myself,. Damn, that would suck so fucking much! To be in her shoes and to go through what here family pottentially might put her through. My heart deffinatiley goes out to them, so much so that I almost feel bad for not being able to change what happened. Maybe If I olny would have swerved to right instead of the left, then maybe we wouldn't have had to go through all this. But, then I say to myself, things happened and they can't be changed, so I'll just leave it at that.
