A lucky escape

I’m feeling a bit battered and bruised this morning after a nasty accident yesterday afternoon. I was driving our car, with the 2 boys in the back along a major road when another car tried to turn across in front of me. It all happened very quickly and I didn’t really have time to brake and collided with his car. The car spun around, the passenger side air bag went off (luckily no-one was sitting there) and there was smoke everywhere. Fortunately the boys were completely unharmed, although a little bit shaken by the ordeal. As for me I have some aches and pains in my legs and neck but nothing too severe. The other good thing was that behind us on the road was a police car, so they were at the scene immediately and saw the whole thing. It took a lot of stress out of the whole situation having them there directing traffic and talking to the other driver etc. God certainly was looking after us through it all. The car was towed to the local smash repair place (which we know all too well unfortunately) and I had to go there this morning to fill in an insurance report. While I was there I snapped a few pics with my phone. The damage is fairly bad, but I don’t think it’s going to be enough for them to write off the whole car (which would be cool) – I imagine it’s going to take quite a while to fix though… Anyway, see for yourself…
