My mom, DS and I were in a crash today. The car looks horrible, I can only assume it's totaled but everyone is mostly ok, so far, I think... My mom is currently at the hospital awaiting a cat scan to make sure that her broken ribs haven't caused any liver damage. I am going to go in tomorrow to confirm broken ribs too.
We were driving north on the freeway when a Toyota Sequoia was just stopped in the middle of the freeway. My mother was driving and she was definitely a very safe following distance behind the car. She slammed on the breaks and we were easily stopped and didn't hit the car but all of a sudden the car behind us slammed into us thus causing us to slam into the Sequoia.
Here are some pics.
DS was in his TWE, RF. It did magnificently in the crash. The tethers are a bit frayed and so is the cover in a couple of spots. I haven't checked over the shell. Obviously not going to continue to use it. DS has never sat FF but I had to install him FF in the tow truck to go 1 mile to get to a rest stop to wait to get picked up. (Our other choice was to wait by the side of the freeway which was DEFINITELY more dangerous than using a crashed seat for a 1 mile ride in a huge tow truck.) DS was SO funny sitting FF, I don't think he liked it. The first thing he said was "but I can't see you!" After his father came to get us he told him "and I sat this way in the tow truck." When he said "this way" he held his arms out. So cute how he described it. Oh another funny he asked the state trooper if Mater was going to come and get us.
Here is DS with his new friends:
So now on to new car and new car seat shopping. Anyone know how a Radian does in a Honda CRV?
Oh and can I just say how done I am with 2009? Quick recap... DH and I split in June, lost my job in Sept. now this. I'm really ready for 2010.
