My First Car Accident
Oddly enough, the same day Byrne had his accident, I was involved in my very own first automobile accident. Coming home from work, I was stopped at a stop sign at Hayes and Laguna and I was rear-ended. There was a loud bang, it felt like I was punched in the middle of the back, and the loose cd's in my dash holder went flying.
I turned my radio off, turned my car off, shook the cobwebs out of my head and got out to assess the damage. First thing I noticed was the other guy's car. The front end was dented in, there was steam or smoke coming out of the hood, and his airbags had deployed. Dammit, why didn't mine deploy? I went around to the back of my car only to find no visible damage whatsoever. Amazing. Go Subaru!
I took pictures but they're not very dramatic. I called the police but they said they didn't really care about the accident unless someone was hurt. Morbid fuckers. We exchanged insurance information and went about our merry ways. My back was a little stiff yesterday, but today I feel just about right as rain.
