My sister and her boyfriend just got into an car accident at 90 mph or so. It sucks because I was in town and they were coming over and I had noticed the ambulances and a firetruck going out of town they way that they would have been entering and my brother and I were making jokes about someone crashing. Then I went home and another brother of mine called and told me that they had gotten into an accident, I didn't know they were coming over until this time btw. The problem that arises now is that we only have 3 cars to transport 9 people. We have the same schedule everyday and without all three cars the plan cannot happen. My sister, her boyfriend, and I all go to college, but I live 50 miles away while they live 5 miles away from the campus and I need a car to get to school in the morning. My dad needs a car to get to work. My sister and her boyfriend need a car to get to and from school and work, so now that entire plan is out of whack. Not only that but my sister has a 2 year old baby that was in the car. Luckily nobody was severly injured but the semester is ending in less than 2 weeks and my sister and her boyfriend aren't going to be able to make finals. Life has too many ups and downs I swear.
 
From what I heard, they ended up flipping four times. There was a small dog in the car too. Somehow, when the car flipped, the dog landed on the ground. the problem is that we can't find him though. or another problem is anyway.
 
I am utterly shocked that nobody was seriously injured at 90 MPH. I crashed my car at about 45 once, and had to have somebody taken to the hospital. One of my friends crashed at about 60 MPH with 3 other passengers, and he died on impact, while another died a day later in the hospital. You should consider yourself very lucky you still have your sister, her bf, and that kid still with you. Fuck the carpool arrangements, because that really doesn't enter into it right now.
 
Uhm...YEAH....what he said ^.

I would be so busy being elated that everyone was okay....I wouldn't give a shit about all thos other technicalities of life at this point.
 
Ooowch, yea, I remember when my sis got into her car accident. Flipped a few times.. she got the worst of it. Lost some memory there.. Not cool at all. Hope everything works out for ya.
 
Though it seems like the accident could have been fatal, it really couldn't have been because of the way it happened. A truck pulled their car to the side of the road and they went into a ditch, through a barbed wire fence, and broke a small tree. The car rolled on it's hood or upside down but that was it really. We also do live out in the middle of nowhere so, there wasn't much to hit that could have killed them in the process. The technicalities are really what was important because they determine whether or not we can survive on the little we have right now. Our system works so that my sis can live close to school and support her child and live with her boyfriend but now that they lost the car jobs can't be kept and they will have to live with us. As is, we have one person with a job to support what will be 12 people in all. there is already barely enough money to get to and from school so now the situation will become very critical and we will literally be scraping the bottom of the barrel to fee ourselves and the baby. I wasn't really worried about the accident for another reason too. I have gotten into an accident going 35. I was ejected from the vehicle and the vehicle flipped and so forth. I just got up and flipped it back over(it was a small car). After that, I got it towed or however that is spelled. Of course, yes they were going more than 2 times as fast but, the crash site wasn't a place for a lot of danger: just a bunch of grass and that small ass tree that was broken. O yea, and the fence.
 
even if you have nothing but transportation to worry about now- be grateful.

be so very grateful!!

just 3 weeks ago-

two of my friends were driving back from dinner on the highway when a car cut them off- swerving to avoid the accident, they smashed into a semi.

Ari, the driver, died the next day in the hospital, while the passenger only incurred minor injuries.

I guess I was lucky until now. I'd never had anyone remotely close to me die, but even still I wait for her to walk through the door every morning.

god damnit- !!

just tell me that you are grateful- that the first thing you asked them was if they were ok. that you held them and didn't let go. that you will thank whatever god you believe in everyday for blessing you.

just know that you were lucky. all of you.
 
Before I saw the wreck or even saw them, those were my questions. My brother had given me a call when I was practicing paintball and told me what happened and that everything was ok. I know life is fragile but I don't think it is a fragile as everyone percieves it to be.
