I'm glad you weren't hurt. Such a terrible accident would be a tragedy no matter to whom it happens.

I'm really glad I didn't hurt any one. I was in a really bad accident 10 years ago and i crippled a woman.

She was sitting at a stop sign screaming at someone on the phone. I was the only Truck (Large box truck) on the road and she waited at the stop sign till I was 10ft from it (my side did not stop) and decided to go without looking while still on the phone. When my big truck hit her little car right behind the driver door, it came open and she flew out and hit my windshield The car spun out to the left and the truck kept going for a while. When I got stopped I looked back and saw her poofy hair on the pavement my heart sank. as i ran towards her I saw she was pinned under the passengerside rear wheel. She was bleeding out of hole in her head. I thought she was going to die. i called the paramedics, (The firehouse was only a mile away and the news helicopter got there first.)
afterwards I pushed the car off her and she was screaming for her mother. So I called her for her and she was trying to tell her what had happened.... The amblance came and rushed her off to the hospitle. I looked for her name in the obituaries for a couple of weeks and never saw it. 3 or 4 years later she came to my house with leg braces and those arm braced crutches wanting to thank me for pushing the car off her. She said she did not remember any of it, and I told her it's proably better that way. She asked what happened and I told her. She said she had several surgeries and is learning to walk again. that she would proably need a cane the rest of her life...

I m glad that nothing like that happened again. i would have perfered to run the truck off the bridge embankment than go into another bunch of cars.

Thankfully when the sh_t hits the fan things seem to slow down for me and I can make level headed desisions.. I would hate to think of what might have happened if we both had our hands over our eyes.
