I pulled up next to my husband’s car this morning, intent upon putting another day of packing parts behind me as quickly as possible, when I noticed something “off” about it. It didn’t take long for me to figure out what happened when I saw the condition of his trunk and bumper. I rushed into the office and found an empty desk.

My mother-in-law, who is also helping him pack parts, told me what happened. Apparently, some lady was making an illegal left turn, which forced him to stop in the fast lane of a commercial street. The truck that was behind him also stopped at a safe distance away. Another truck, racing to avoid a red light, plowed into the first truck, who plowed into my husband’s car.

He never saw it coming. One minute, he was sitting there fuming at the stupid woman, who shouldn’t have been making that turn. The next, he was lying down, looking up at his headliner. She was long gone by the time he got out of his car.

He and the other guys pulled over and exchanged information. Then he drove to work, scared, mad, and very upset. This was his first brand new car, and he’s had it around six months.

Fortunately, he didn’t get cut up. But I’m concerned about his neck and back and other things that may pop up later. So I’ll be alert to him for the next 48 - 72 hours.

This was a very upsetting day, but the good thing is that I still have my husband.
