So there I was, sitting in the car, ears ringing & finding it hard to see because of the haze from the gas used to deploy the airbags. The engine was stopped, the horn was blaring and just wouldn't stop. I sat there for what seemed like a minute before finding my glasses on the floor & getting out.
The entire plastic front bumper was on the ground, still held onto the body with two screws. A couple of swift kicks got that out of the way and I was able to rip the wire away from the blaring horn to shut the horrid fucker up.
Traffic was sneaking past on the left side of the road, I was able to start up & drive off the side where it was a bit safer. Passers by manhandled the other vehicle into position behind my car, in the reverse order of the collision.
Police & ambulance arrived. I was checked out and nothing's broken, no alcohol in my system but I'll likely get a traffic infringement for unsafe driving, there'll be a fine as well.
The tow truck driver dropped me off near home as it was on his way to the depot. I'll collect Mum's car later today, get essential food shopping done and go to the depot & collect all my stuff from the wreck. Then I'll get myself checked out thoroughly by my doctor.
Signing off now, the pain in my shoulder & chest is starting to aggravate me & I should try to sleep, it's almost 1:30 am.
