As you may/may not know, I was in a car accident on Wed night coming home from church. I was on a back sort of curvy mountain road (for those in the area -8th street near Carverton Rd). Recent rain had run off water coming out of the mountain and it froze like black ice. There was an accident where mine was but the man moved the car. I saw this accident and slowed down only to go around a curve and hit the ice myself and slammed into a rock retaining wall. There was absolutely nothing I could do. The police and EMS responding also slid. Although I was headed for a flood-stage creek, I somehow managed to curve back the other way and only hit the side of my car...as you will see instead of head on. I hit at about 30mph. I am ok but real sore. The kids were NOT in the car with me. Thank goodness. And Thank GOD for Toyotas! IF I had been in our small Honda, the outcome could have been much worse.
There was another accident in that area and before i was taken in the ambulance, the police closed the road. Penn Dot really dropped the ball...with that much run off and knowing temps were going to dip into the 20s they should have salted. I was going slow but there was no traction whatsoever. About 10 -15 min after my accident, PennDot salted giving those coming down before the road closed a little traction. Other church members made it home ok.
Our family just cant catch a break....in several areas. If you pray, pray for us and pray for me to be accepting of God's Will. There was about 4000 damage so far.
Well off- dont feel like writing much.
