Car accident 被撞了.

Kids and I were driving on the highway and stopped, as all cars in front of us did for the merge, then saw a car fast approaching us from the rear mirror. Boom! Realized that we just got hit and were shocked by the impact. I called Sean and informed him about the news and contacted 911. Then this guy came over and complained why did I stopped on the highway. I was very angry and told him that all cars in front of me were stopped, of course I had to stop.

We got out of the car and saw the traffic backed up from the scene, shivering from both the shock and the cold temperature and making sure that no more cars hit us as we stood outside unprotected. This guy called his friend and asked me where we were and on which highway, he even asked me to talk to his friend about what happened...I refused and said I want to wait until policeman arrived. Wondering why the police hasn't arrived when we need them, but always right there when you break the law.

2 ambulances stopped for 1 second and left us, I wondered how did they know that we didn't have anyone injured if they didn't even get out of the car to check. Anyways, the officer asked for my documents and came back asking me if I saw which guy got out of the driver seat? I was too shocked to pay attention to that. He said both guys were pointing at each other for driving the car, so one of them was lying and he had to figure that out. Turned out the driver / owner? didn't have driver license nor insurance and maybe be drunk, so one (or both? )got arrested in the scene. We were told to go home and the insurance company will take care of it.

Sean and a friend came to support me. We were able to drive the Prius home but was very sad that our new car got a big hit. Despite the scary experience and some future inconveniences, we are very thankful that none of us got injured. I am so touched that Xander told me that he already said a prayer for us. What a night!

You can tell that I must be o.k. otherwise I won't be sitting here and posting.

Lesson learned when you got involved in a car accident: always take a look of the driver and always have hand warmers in the car in the winter. Most importantly, always say a prayer when we have to travel on the road and be very cautious.





今天下午開車載小朋友在高速公路上時, 前面的車子都停下來, 所以我也停下. 突然從後視鏡看到後面的車子很快的朝我前進. 果然, 我們被撞了. 撞擊力好強, 傑升被嚇哭了, 煒勳也是愣了一下. 我從後視鏡看到這台車的前面扁的很慘, 我先打電話跟老公報備, 請他趕來現場又打電話報警. 駕駛者是一個黑人, 他過來用抱怨的口氣說我為什麼在高速公路上停車. 我沒好氣的說前面的車都停了, 我當然要停下來! 我和小朋友們走到路旁等警察來做報告. 我一直發抖. 一方面是還在驚嚇當中, 一方面是外面好冷. 還好小朋友們都有帶外套出來. 那駕駛者打電話給他朋友, 然後問我我們在那裡和那條高速公路, 他竟然還叫我跟他朋友解釋發生情形. 我拒絶了他, 說我要等警察來再說. 誰知道他是不是要叫他朋友順便錄音還是有的沒有的..

警察來了後跟我要了證件, 過了會又來問我有沒有看到哪個人從駕駛座走出來? 因為兩個人都互指對方才是駕駛者, 我說我當時嚇呆了沒有仔細看誰先下車. 警察說這兩人互指, 有一個人是說謊的, 所以他會去調查. 後來警察給了我張名片, 說保險公司會處理. 我說那對方呢? 他說駕駛者沒有駕照也沒有保險, 而且好像喝醉酒, 所以他要當場逮捕他, 也不知道是抓一個還是二個都抓.

在附近的一個朋友趕來現場, 老公隨後也趕到. 我們決定把車子開回去等星期一再修. 老公說可以想像當時的衝擊力很強因為連roof的天花板都被撞開了. 車子的屁股是一定要修, 車後門關不起來. 希望我們到時可以修好而不用重新買車. 回家的路上我也跟小朋友們解釋, 為什麼要綁安全帶和買保險. 很幸運的, 我們都沒有受傷. 真是不幸中的大幸.
