Once the car came to a stop, I looked back to make sure that baby was ok. At that time I wasn't sure where we had been hit and I dreaded the thought that we had been hit right where the baby was (She was on the passenger side of the rear seat). I looked back and there she was looking unfazed by what had just happened as her blue eyes beamed at me - she's so cute! Once I felt that she was ok, I pulled the car into an automotive shop that was right next to me and got out to assess the damage.
Cosmetically, it didn't look as bad as I thought it would and I thought I could drive it. A witness, a guy who worked at the automotive shop and saw everything happen, said there was no way I could drive it - look at the wheels, they are bowed out. Hmmmm......
Finally the police came and took a report and gave the other driver a citation. Thank god it wasn't my fault!!! This would be the second accident in less than a year - both not my fault! What the hell is going on???
It was pretty obvious who was at fault, although, the witness and his coworker both agreed that it was actually the person who allowed the other driver to enter the roadway's fault. It is against Washington State law to be on a roadway and stop to allow someone to enter the roadway from a parkinglot. That's my version of the law - if you want to know the offical law, look it up.
So both our cars were a complete wreak - no pun intended...ok, maybe a little - and our cars had to be towed. I got a rental car and had baby checked out by her pediatrician. She looks good. I'm still acking a bit but I think I'm more emotionally hurt than anything.
It's probably the combination of the stress of the accident on my body and mind as well as the scary realization that I could have lost my sweet baby in those few seconds. I am feeling extremely vulnerable right now and with my husband at work - it feels like he's there all the time now - I feel a little depressed. It makes me realize how precious life is and how it can be taken from you in an instant. So let's just say I'm still getting over the shock of the whole thing.
