I was in a fairly bad car accident on the way to work this morning. Never fear, I am ok. I hit a patch of ice coming off of 496 onto Lansing Rd, lost control and slammed into that lovely mound of dirt on the right side of the road, which nearly flipped my car, caused front end damage and blew out 2 tires and I ended up facing the wrong direction in oncoming traffic.
The car behind me managed to stop but the car behind him did the same thing, but instead of hitting the dirt, he hit the bridge support 50 ft behind me. That car managed to just drive off, but I was in a bit of pain.
I was hospitalized for 3 hours while the doctor took x-rays of my spine. Luckily everything checked out and I only sprained my lower back and neck. I was also treated for high blood pressure (probably due to the stress) and an extremely high heart rate.
So now my car is in the body shop getting looked at. Hopefully it won’t be too expensive to fix, but until then, I am without a car and am hating every minute of it.

This must have been scary.
I freak out in big cities as it is; I don't know what I'd do if I got in an accident with a whole bunch of oncoming traffic pointed at me.
Glad you're ok.
Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon.
I'm sending good vibes to you and your car. :)
