I was in a car accident today!!

Original post by HelenZ

I really had the day from hell today!!! Everything was going great, me & MimiMcG's sister were out running errands (hmmmm I wonder what we were up to Mimi....lol!!!), we were driving along on Jericho Turnpike and an f'n truck drove right into the door of my car!!!! He literally merged from the left lane into my car.....he was trying to get over and he said I was in his blind spot......at least he pulled over, maybe he had to b/c it was a commercial truck and it had the company name shown in big letters (so I would've tracked that sucka down if he would've tried to get away!!

I can't believe the day I had, I still feel shaken up, but at least we're ok.......if we would have been going faster, it could have been a lot worse!! oh and we had to wait an hour for the cops to come.....that was fun!!!

Be careful on the road ladies- there's plenty of maniacs out there!! This was my very first car accident in the 8 years I'm driving, I'm so upset!!!

Here's a pic of my car door- this is the imprint his front wheel left in my door.



this is the truck that hit me:


Thanks for letting me vent!!

Oh Helen!!!! Planning my bridal shower is dangerous business!!! lol!!!

I just thank God that you and maria are ok, and luckily mr. truck driver knows and admits that he was the person at fault!!!

maybe later tonight we can re enact your day yesterday on the go cart track!!! Love ya!!!



yeah shower planning is dangerous!! I guess for us it won't be the planning part itself but driving there that's the problem!!

I'd love to get behind the wheel of a go-cart tonight....since I won't be behind the wheel of my car for a while!! I'll probably get more whiplash doing that then I did in the accident yesterday! I'm glad I can joke about it since no one was hurt!

I am sorry to hear about that. Things like that are always scary. I know Jericho turnpike can be crazy!


It looks like your car is still drivable and at least he admitted it was his fault. Good thing you took pictures.


Good Luck!

Its true!

A truck once side-swiped my car ... it was a couple of years ago .... I thought I was fine, but the next day it hurt like heck!
