Ouch...

Yesterday, my mother, Natalie, and i were out shopping and were on our way home. We were waiting to make a left hand turn. well when we got the green arrow to turn, my mother started to turn, then all of a sudden we hear a horn blaring and this white car is in our way...before we knew it, we hit it. We couldn't understand where this car came from. It wasn't there when we went to turn. I heard some one yell something, but wasn't paying attention to what was said. Not 5 seconds after we hit, we heard police sirens...i thought, damn that was fast! But there was a police car waiting in the traffic, on his way to another accident that was down the street from us! So we got out of traffic, and waited for the officer to come over to us.  He had gone to talk to the other driver, who gave him some lame story about how he went thru the yellow light, and we failed to yield to him! Yeah, that's not how it happened fella! When the officer came to talk to us, we told him what happened, and he told us what the other guy had said...and we told him we were positive we had a green arrow so he leaves and comes back and says that there were 2 witnesses who told him the same thing we did (that something i heard some one yell...was WITNESS!).  So the other guy was wrote a ticket for running a red light. We ended up having the car towed to the dealership, due to the driver door would not open...even a little bit, and i just didn't want to chance driving it anymore...it just didn't feel like it was driving right afterwards (coming from the one who was sitting in the passenger side!). Besides, my momma was so shaken up, i wasn't about to let her drive. so we will see what happens. 

The three of us are fine, thank goodness! Momma and i are quite sore, but nothing was broken. Natalie was in her 5 point car seat, so she didn't feel a thing! After impact i looked back to see how she was, and she was holding her feet looking kind of stunned, but said she was fine. When we were out of the car getting what we needed before it was towed, she looked at the damage and told me..."grammas car needs a big dand aid" lol...dand aid of course meaning band aid! My mom was a bit shaken up and upset not only from the accident, but because the car was still brand new to her, less than 2 months old. 

I wish i would have had my camera with me, but all i had was my phone...so here's the only pic i took!

Hope this blog finds you well. =)
