Car Accident!

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.

Very thankful she wasn't hurt, though she may be sore for a few days. I know in the couple wrecks I have been in I wasn't hurt but was sore.

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

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!

Thanks so much. Being the businessman he is, the title of the new car will be in his name just in case

Thank you! Hubs went out to get the newspaper and noticed the ice twinkling innocently on the doorstep, so he craned his way on the lawn.

I guess it was lucky she pranged the old car. It would be scary to have the car start sliding and be unable to do anything about it.

Likewise. Cars can be replaced. She’s working from home today and will tomorrow as usual. Good thing, because snow is on the way.

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!”

Thanks, and the old car was/is? an old bomb. Not worth reporting. They are turning it in as is
