Wouldn’t ya know it! Black ice IS so treacherous. Very early this morning, while dark, Aniella, my son’s girlfriend, left for work. She thought the roads were wet.
They were wet with frozen ice! She slid on a very windy road and hit a tree sideways. She called my son immediately.
Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt. The driver’s side is crunched up, but the car can still be driven. My son followed her home.
My son bought her a brand new car a couple of months ago. It will be ready for pick up on Saturday. He was so grateful she smooshed her old bomb and not the new car.
She was able to work from home btw.

I am sure she was very shook up but glad she does not have any injuries and that she can work from home.

She turned out to be real lucky. It could have been far worse.

Ouch! Good thing she was okay and it was her old car and not the new one that is coming. I wouldn’t have been mad if it was a new car.

@DianneN If the car slammed into the tree on her side, she would have been hurt terribly!

I’m sorry she had a wreck, but you’re so right: better to have a wreck in the old car than the new one.
And her car insurance company is going “cha-CHING!”
