And I Walked Away
Had a bad accident, glad to be alive. Approximate 26 foot long box truck ran a red light and hit me. Point of impact by the truck, good thing I saw it coming last second so I floored the gas pedal. Could have been hit in the drivers door. What is left of the trunk, you can see the clear outline of a tree in the trunk. This is where I hit the traffic light post, the traffic light ended up on top of my car. -

Re: And I Walked Away
That could have been really bad. Glad your copilot was with you and you were able to walkaway. What was the truck driver's excuse for running the light?

Re: And I Walked Away
Thank be to God for where that hit you. could have been so much worst and glad that you are ok and walked away. Crazy some of the close calls we have in everyday. Makes us think (as we need to) all the small blessing in our life and be thankful for what we already have and not being wrapped up in the world. take it easy because you may have a little PTSD from that event
