Car Accident | tacit's Blog

Today was a crazy day. It started off normal and uneventful. Around  9 AM. I had a feeling it just wasn't gonna be my day. School was alright. I found $2  in my pocket, aced the drills, and we got out early.

There was a plan to go to newport mall. I have not been there in several years and was a bit reluctant to go there. I am always the driver. I am the only one with a car. As i was dropping a friend, who was not coming with us,  off at home I accidently backed up and hit a wooden stop sign. I was fine.. the stop sign was cool. This was foreshadowing of the events that were soon to unfold.

I embarked on the journey towards the mall. For some reason i was just not driving great today. Im not sure why. I had Didi, KK and mad in the car with me. This is illegal. I am only supposed to have 1 person under 18 in the car. It is bad but i do that all the time. Today i kept making wrong turns and going in odd ways.

We eventually were on the road to the holland tunnel. We did NOT want to go in. that would be bad. We were all of a sudden stuck on the road leading up and i tried frantically to get over to the right. I nearly hit a car, who was speeding, in the process. I feebly made it into a burger king parking lot.

I was feeling stressed and worn out. i needed a minute to calm down. I pulled into a parking spot and asked mad to get me my glasses from the trunk. As she was getting out we all noticed a homeless man coming right at us. we knew he wanted money. She hoped back in the car and told me to go. I didn't really have anything much to give at that second so i figured i would try to go.

The homeless man came next to my car. He was on my side near the back tire. I was backing up and trying to avoid hitting him. I got very distracted when he was right next to me. I slammed into a black town car on line in the drive through. Everyone freaked out in the car. I just sighed while uttering an expletive.

I pulled forward into the same spot. I was remarkably calm. I told my passengers to chill and i went out to greet the man that i hit. I went up to his car. I looked at his damage before i even cared a little bit about mine. He was a large fellow who spoke with an accent. He was in his late 40s or older. He confused me with some of the things he said. I tried to be as nice and cordial as possible. I really did not want him to call the cops. That was his favorite idea. I just kept saying "We can exchange information?!"  To be honest.. i have no idea what that means. I have just heard it in Tv and movies enough times...lol

So he called the cops....
