Dana was in a car accident today.
She's okay physically. Probably not okay mentally. Some sh*thead didn't want to miss her exit so they crossed four lanes of traffic coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel and broadsided her. She spun out and hit the median going 60mph. Counting some blessings right now because that kind of accident ends up with a flipped car and a hospital visit more ofte than not. She has common injuries associated with air bag and collision...scratches and brusies...but the fact that they didn't feel the need to bus her to the hospital is a good sign. Right now I'm waiting for my business partner to get back. He's on a house call. Can't leave the shop. Sh*t sucks. |

Insurrance will be cake. She had a witness and cops already said she was not at fault. I put a dash cam in her car a few months back so we'll have the footage too. Thing that really sucks is that car accidents are literally her biggest fear. She has reaccuring nightmares about them. She's been in therapy because of it. This is literally her nightmare. I have no idea how this is going to play out going forward. She's strong minded so I'm hoping this doesn't cause a traumatic barrier with driving but it might. Crazy thing was that we just talked about this yesterday because I read that NJ traffic accidents are up like 30% this year and told her to drive with more caution. Literally yesterday. Life can be crazy ya'll. |

I hated driving in the New York area, especially on the Jersey side.
Glad she's okay, Exo.

****ing hell! Life doesn't leave you alone for long, does it? Sorry to hear that Exo, hope she'll be okay. At least you can comfort yourself with the thought that it could have been much, much worse.

My wife deals with anxieties of her own, primarily about death and the after life, but not specifically related to cars (more related to planes actually). I hope Dana pulls through better and stronger for this whole thing. In the moment though, car crashes are absolutely terrifying. In the moment, you don't know whether you'll live or die, and sometimes, the split-second decisions you make during these moments of fear and terror influence the outcome, just horrifying really. I've been in multiple accidents myself, never been my fault though, to my credit. I had an effin tie rod break on me, making me lose control of my car (thankfully not on the highway), I've had someone rear-end me when I was at a complete stop, and I've run into a moose on the highway, totalling my car. The moose was the worst in terms of lasting impressions, let's just say I'm extremely paranoid now at night and avoid night-driving whenever I can. But all these unfortunate events did lead to me being more cautious in almost all aspects of my driving - I'm a complete defensive driver nowadays, taking nothing for granted, always listening for any weird sounds my car might make. I just want to make it home safe. One week, it's a beautiful marriage, the next week it's a horrifying car crash. Life is terrible and life is beautiful. |
