Hi all, I'm back after being away for a couple of days due to my car (an 11-month-old Saturn SL1) being creamed by a dump truck on Thursday morning.
I was on my way to work when it happened. I was attempting to make a left turn, but I had to wait in the middle of the intersection because someone decided to make a right turn from the opposite direction onto the same street I was turning on. So, while I'm waiting for the person making the right to stop blocking my way, a giant red dump truck ran through the yellow-going-on-red light, slammed into the front of my car, and spun me around (I had been facing about 11 o'clock and I ended up at about 3 o'clock). I was very very lucky that the only thing I hurt was my knee, which flew up into the steering wheel when I was hit. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance to get x-rays, but it wasn't broken, just bruised. My car isn't drivable, and I have to call today to see if it's totaled or if (ihopeihopeihope) it's fixable. I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach even thinking about the possibility of having to buy a new car.
The Score is: Dump Truck 1, Saturn 0
