This afternoon on my way to acupuncture, I got into a car accident. I was on the 134 headed to Pasadena when a big hauling truck changed lanes into me. I tried to swerve out of the way, but our cars somehow got hooked together and I was dragged, then flipped around so I was going backwards, then dragged. All of this at about 60 mph. It’s extremely fortunate that my car didn’t roll.
I thought I was going to die. As I was being dragged backwards down the freeway, I couldn’t imagine how I was going to get out of this. I truly thought that I was going to die in that car.
SOMEHOW, our cars got unhooked and I rolled *backwards* over to the side of the freeway and stopped. I burst into tears and couldn’t stop saying “I’m alive I’m alive I’m alive”. I had to crawl out my passenger side door because the driver side was wedged shut.
Here’s some pictures of my car that Hawk took with his phone when he got there:
I made it out of that without a scratch. My shoulders are a little sore and I am totally freaked out, but I am alive and whole.
holy crappola ~ i am so glad you are okay, that must have been absolutely terrifying !!

I am so glad that you made it out without a scratch. I cannot even imagine how scared you were. You must have a guardian angel!!!
OH MY GOSH! I’m freaking out here. I’m glad you’re ok!
Did the truck STOP?
Holy crap! I’m glad you’re ok! What happened to the other guy??
Found you through daisies. I’m glad you’re okay!
