Not your typical drive to work

Posted Monday, December 3, 2007 at 11h33 in Personal

I was driving to work this morning when the lady in front of me swerved off the side of the road and hit a wooden telephone pole, bringing the entire pole down on her car. The entire front end of her car was demolished, and there were billows of smoke coming out from the engine area. I pulled off to the side of the road, made sure the car wasn’t about to explode, helped the lady out of the car, and called 911. Miraculously, other than being shaken up, she was alright. The smoke coming from the wrecked car smelled really funny though. I hope it wasn’t anything toxic.

HOlY COW! You’re a hero dude! That’s a really brave thing to do. I’m glad you and she are alright.

Thanks, I’m glad she’s alright too. But I didn’t really do anything heroic. It was the airbag that saved her. I just made sure she was able to get out of the car (she was able to stand up and walk on her own), then called 911.  It was kind of neat calling 911 since I’d never done it before, except when I was like 5 years old and I thought my parents had abandoned me, but that’s another story…
