Glad your ok!

Glad you are ok - and everyone was very lucky. I don't mean to worry you, but you may have a delayed effect from the accident. It is not uncommon for 2 or 3 days to pass before you feel some of the aches and pains - time for the adrenaline to leave your system and your body to react outside of the shock. You will probably not have anything major but don't be surprised if you, your husband and even the dog start to feel a bit stiff over the next few days. When I had a similar accident back in 1995, I was fine for the first 3 days and then discovered I had suffered whiplash and a torn rotator cuff when I woke up and couldn't turn my head. I hope that everything continues to go well for you. It sure sounds like your car did a lot to protect you.

Thank you for all your concern, we are sure expect to be sore coz we also went white water rafting just before the accident

Glad you all were ok!! How scary!

OMG! Glad to hear that you, your hubby & your dogs and those other people are okay Anya. It's so scary looking at the pics.

[Scott & Lai 12]

I'm glad you are alright.

This is a good reminder for everyone to make sure they have flares in their car!

It's also a reminder to SLOW DOWN in bad weather It's likely flares or a triangle would have done little good in this instance; it seems Anya and Bram had just enough time to flee the car and avoid getting killed....no time to set up a triangle or flares.

Glad everyone is ok

Glad to hear you all turned out ok. Pretty scary situation for sure.

[Melo 1]

Well, first let me say I'm glad you are OK!

Second let me say that you both made some pretty bad choices that night! You are very lucky that one of you or someone from the other cars were not seriously hurt. You mention that you were both tired after your day rafting. Why would you even attempt to drive home that night to be fresh for work when you should be fresh for driving home after a good nights sleep. You mentioned that it was raining when you left and also that you don't drive well at night or handle a 5-speed manual all that well. Why on earth would you drive and put both of you at risk. I'm not giving you a hard time because I think you are wonderful (I've followed your posts for a long time) but your actions were not very responsible. This is something that could easily have been avoided with a little common sense. I'm also curious if you drove a car while in Thailand or if your driving experience is only during your time in the U.S.. If you are a fairly new driver there is a chance that not only will your insurance rates go up but your insurance provider may also drop you.

Also, tell Bram NOT to let you drive on snow or ice. I KNOW you did not see that in Thailand.
