In response to crappy weather, I was in a car accident last week - BLACK ICE

After seeing http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t41565

I thought I'd share with you my experiences of last Wednesday April 22.... I know I should have vented earlier, but I haven't been able to talk about it.

It was raining and crummy out, but not cold enough to freeze. As I was driving home around 5:30 as I accelerated out of a small Northern Ontario town - in the time it takes to blink.... the roads were covered in hail... yes hail. The road was white and all ice underneath. While headed down hill toward a bridge and river, my Jetta spun out, and after at least two complete spins, I ended up on the right side of the road, backwards, a top of a collection of very sharp black rocks.

My back tires were blown out, and all the underside of the car is damaged. Immeadiately I grabbed my cellphone to call DH. I don't know why... luckily two men pulled over and came to the rescue and called 911.

I thought I was going to have a heartattack. It was truly the scariest moment of my life. I thought I was headed for the river. Worst of all, earlier that day I had went to the provincial offices and had my health card information updated with my new last name. At the same time I signed my organ donor card.

While sitting in the police car waiting for DH to get there... I laughed out loud. When the policeman asked what was so funny I told him that earlier that day, I'd signed my donor card.... BUT I DIDN'T MEAN TODAY!

I guess that was the bright side of things. Along with the fact that I drive a fantastically safe car - I walked away without a scratch....

Now I have to deal with the insurance co.....

Oh no I am glad you are safe!! And the donor card thing made me laugh

yay its always best to try find the silver lining in something even if it is a funny thing

Holy crap! I would have BAWLED if that was me. First because I was scared, then because I'd realize how much I'd have to pay to fix the car lol And I definitely would have laughed about the organ donor thing too, you're not alone.

I'm glad to hear you're alright though Someone was definitely looking out for you that day!

So good to hear you're alright! What a scary experience!

I am so glad you are ok!!! Yay for Jetta's-I drive a Jetta too!

Amy- OMG!!!
