    Clemsonpanther's Car Wreck

    I guess this is the right thread/forum section for this.

    Anyways, I was driving my brother and I out from school when for some reason (I don't know why), I pull out onto a busy 2 lane Highway. I end up clipping my right passenger bumper with his rear right wheel axle and send him flipping in the air. I thought he died and I was going to go to jail and I sobbed for a minute and then 'told' my brother to call mom. I called 911 and my friend rushed up and answered the call because i couldn't talk. I ended up near some people who comforted me and helped out. The guy was wearing his belt (and if he hadn't he wouldve died) and only had a scratch on his finger. I sit there in the grass uncontrollably bawling for about 15ish minutes, when the AP and instructional coach come up and talk to us. They helped us, and the fire department did also. I sat in their truck (nice i might add) and waited for my mom, she showed up and she wasn't mad. I thought they were going to kill me but they were thankful that everything was okay. Then one of my teachers happens to be leaving and consoles me and we talk for roughly 30 minutes. The cop was thankfully really nice and gave me the minimum fine and I have a court date for March. I realize now how deadly driving is. I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing the flip in my head for a long time, and I get a bad feeling when I think about it.

    I'm so thankful to everyone thats given support, and I'm posting this so yall can learn the potentially deadly consequences of driving. Everythings alright but I got a HUGE dose of reality.

    I feel for ya man. It's a terrifying experience to be in an accident and you are the cause of it. About 8 years ago I was in a hurry leaving the parking lot from work. Didn't check my rear view mirror before going to starting the car in reverse. Backed right into a family passing behind me. The mom in the car got out and was screaming and yelling that I could have seriously injured someone.
    Luckily her son was sitting on the other side and wearing his seat belt. Caused about $2000 in damages. Since it was still on private property, police weren't called to the scene. We swapped contact information and I agreed to pay the repair costs out of pocket.

    From that point on I'm always super cautious when backing up. Cars are dangerous when you don't handle them properly. Like me, you learned a valuable life lesson.

    Hang in there. Remember, everyone walked away from the accident....which is the best possible scenario in a situation like this.
