I drove from Halifax to Pictou County this morning for meetings and hit a snow storm. The streets were greasy and we spun into a ditch about 30 minutes away from our destination. It made more sense to drive ahead the final 30 minutes at that point than turn around hoe to drive 90 minutes back.
Fifteen minutes later, highway traffic was reduced to everyone doing 50 with their 4-ways on. We were down to one lane and everyone was following the tire tracks ahead of them. Then one ***** clown driving a commercial large truck decided to pass everyone. As he plowed thru at 80 klicks he forced everyone to the right. When I got to the right, I hit a greasy patch and fish-tailed. As a result my car made a very sharp fast left turn right into his oncoming bumper. The impact threw my into a hard fast right turn, pointing my car in the opposite direction and right back into the ditch.
I had a co-worker in my car but all parties walked away fine. A car can be replaced, so I call it a win. My car is totalled so I'll be going to my Uncle's funeral tomorrow in a rent a car. Immeditaley after the accident my right ankle was sore and my back pain has increased as the day progressed. I'm getting checked out tomorrow after the funeral.
It was a rough day and having just heard of my Uncle's passing last week, I had already been thinking about how fragile life is. I'm writing this to simply remind you all what we already know to be true......any one of us or our loved ones could be gone at any moment, so say "I love you", call your parents, put your phones down and be present...and to also tell you all that this community is a part of my life I am proud of and I think the world of you guys!
