I was in a car accident on Tuesday night.
I was driving in downtown Dallas in my car when I exited the freeway and came to a stop at a traffic light. I was the first one on the line (fortunately and no so fortunately) when (I think) an SUV plowed right into the back of me. The force pushed me out into the middle of the intersection which was four lanes of traffic going in both directions (so 8 total). My car spun around and finally came to a stop. I will tell you that it scared me b/c as it pushed me into the traffic I remember grabbing the wheel and thinking 'this is it' because I just knew someone would hit me from the side. Thank God that no one did because at this point the light was red at all intersections. So, it was a hit and run because the driver just plowed into me and kept on going. Praise the Lord that I have sustained no real injuries. I think I was the pivotal point in a centrifical (sp) force so as the car spun it kept me from hitting the steering wheel or any glass w/ my head. I totally walked away and I have some sore neck and back muscles but I went to the doctor and he explained all the soreness and strain was from the impact, etc. So, I am OK! I do not have a car and I cannot finance one right now. That is the only bad part. I paid for that car in full with my savings...yes it was THAT cheap, it was a 1989 Honda! My parents and boyfriend insist that I get a newer car. So, I'm trying to figure out my finances so I can do that. Grad school is hard on the wallet! (:
Please join me in praying for the Lord's provision. I know he has a plan for me and the car etc. For now I am well taken care of with transportation because no one has classes this week. But, I'm on the hunt. So, if anyone has any good leads on a car let me know.
