Reality Check......

I got a call yesterday from a friend that saw my sister and kids were in a car accident. She had driven by and saw them getting out of their car. Then while I'm on the phone with her my niece calls me asking if I can come and pick them up. So Wolfie and I jump in the car (thank goodness Lexi was at a friends house) and drive the 1 huge block to where they were.

They were all okay but a bit shaken up. My sister got burns on both insides of her arms from where the airbag deployed. My niece hurt her hand and knee. Taylor and his friend were a bit shaken up but seemed okay.

Basically they had turned right and a car come blazing down the street and didn't brake or anything. Got them in the side of the car..made my sisters car run into a huge irrigation pipe and water was going everywhere. The horn of her car keep going off. The fireman came over and cut the horn.

I took my sister and niece to the after hours clinic right after the accident. They are bruised up and Jordan may have a hairline fracture to her hand. The radiology has to read the x-rays today but they put her wrist in a brace just to make sure.

All in all they were all very lucky that their injuries were not worse. It's a real reality check of my own driving and being more aware of what's around me. Now you can't always stay away from people driving like bats out of hell down the street but I guess it just raises your awareness level......

Glad your okay family!!! Hope your car fares well.......
