Car Accident.

So on Sunday, I was in a car accident. It probably was the scariest moment of my life. I am glad to say that we walked away in really good shape from being in an accident. One of my roommates has a hurt shoulder and all of us are really sore and tired. I have had a headache for 3 days, but I will take a headache over broken bones or anything else any day of the week. So here is the story of what happened....

We were driving on the H-1 freeway in bad traffic. We would be stopped one minute and then would speed up and start going 30-40 miles and then stop the next minute...basically it was typical Waikiki traffic. Traffic was stopping and we stopped with tons of room in front of us (and I mean like at least a whole car's length of room). I didn't see the car coming, but Sharee did. She screamed and then I felt the impact. There was three hits. They went very fast and honestly it took a few seconds after for me to realize what had just happened. When I got out of my car, I realized that we had just been rear-ended by a limo. We were hit hard enough that we ran into the car in front of us and they hit the car in front of them. It was a 4 car accident and was not fun at all. All three of us were fine right after the accident, just really shaken up.

My car looked pretty okay right after the accident compared to the limo, but as time passes, my car started leaking green fluid and other fluids. That was not cool. I still do not know if my car is fixable, but we are taking it one day at a time. Here are some pictures so you can kinda see what happened.

I don't have a great picture of all of the cars, but my car had some damage, but not too much from my perspective.

We all went to the hospital afterwards to get checked out. The shock was wearing off and the pain was starting to set in. It was no fun, but we tried to make the best of the situation. Because we were in a car accident, the nurses put all three of us in neck braces. It was quite the site to see. We were at the hospital forever, but I am glad they really checked us out. They were not kidding when they said day two or three would be the worse. My body is slowly starting to hurt more, but it will be better soon. However, I keep finding all these new bruises on my body and I keep wondering when I hit them or what caused them. We will all recover in time!! However, we are so grateful that we have a week off from school to rest and feel better.

Me in my neck brace....i think this was the furthest thing away from attractive you can get.

  1. The limo's front end got quite smashed. It's crazy that the back end of your car didn't have more damage. Your pictures from the hospital are hilarious!
