My First Car Accident

Posted in Education, Family, Law, Milestones by Elliott Back on August 20th, 2005.

Last weekend I had the experience of being in my first car accident, which cause minimal damage to the car and extreme embarassment for the driver. No one was hurt, but we had to turn back from our trip to Mount Rainier to get another car, which I drove safely to the mountain.

What happened was our driver turned off the freeway, was distracted by a falling CD case, and ran over the kerb at about 60 miles per hour, causing the tire to dimple out at that place:

    Good thing that is the only thing that happened to you, at 60mph it could have been a lot worse for you.

    Good thing you didn't slam into another car, you would be in pain for six months. San Diego Personal Injury Attorney

    Heh, don’t feel bad. We’ve all taken a curb at one time or another (well, maybe not while doing 60, but who puts curbs on interstates anyway??). If that’s the only accident you’ve ever had, you’re doing much better than the rest of America!

    In other news, that’s a very interesting picture… I’d never have guessed you’d hit a curb with that tire. Looks more like some alien horror movie where it’s infected a human… Or maybe I just need to stop watching so many videos.
