June 25, 2005- well, yesterday- I was in Ashville visiting my In-laws and other relatives that drove here from Florida, we had a great time white water rafting until late. Bram and I decided that we need to drive home to Durham (about3 hrs drive) that night so we can wake up on our own bed and go to work the next day fresh. It was 10.30pm and pouring rain when we left Ashville. Bram was driving and I was resting so when he got tired I could drive…. Then about midnight I woke up and Bram was exhausted. Well, it was about almost half way and the sky clear up a little… I don’t do well driving at night – stressed out too much coz I have a not so good night vision (I don’t wear glasses) So I was so alert and prepared.. but it wasn’t enough…

About 10.30 we hit the shower rain.. I slowed down but it was like.. rain and stop.. then rain for few mins and stop again…so I wasn’t so nervous about it. We were driving BMW 530i and the car handle thing well… normally anyway. Suddenly after the clear sky there was a big sheet of rain and I couldn’t see a thing.. I started to fish tailing (that’s what it call isn’t it?) and because the car is 5 speed and I’m not used to it.. I lost control of the car (with Bram screaming “LET GO OF THE BREAK!!”) I did and we hit the rail, swirled from the road rail (left side) to and hit the right side with so much luck no car hit us during that time. We lost all the electricity in the car.. Cannot use emergency light, Bram screamed for me to get out of the car.. I was a total wreck and in shock and shaking.. I got my shoe and ran out of the car with nothing in hand.. Bram went back and got our dog that were still inside and he called 911.we don’t know where we were.. Our car is black and is half way in the road.. I-40 we were not hurt at all..and our dog were fine too. It was total dark, so cloudy and some rain – no light from any poster.. and our car is black…and we have NO WAY to let anybody see our car that was in the middle of the road!! There was some one stopped there car and asked if we were OK.. we were fine.. the car was fine..at that time anyway…Few cars passed – slow down and didn’t hit our car but didn’t stop either… then it came a light so fast down the road and just.. bang!! I couldn’t breath.. I felt that they are going to die with that hit..it’s so loud and our car start spinning again.. that vehicle skids like 500 feet to where the other car was parking .. Miracle.. just a minor injury.. They ran down and see if we were alright though.. They must have thought someone should be dead by now in our car.. luckily.. noone get hurts… Another minute gone by praying for the police to show up so they can do the road block so people can see our car… it started to rain again.. I was outside with the dog.. Bram is yelling to his cell phone.. then came flying another car.. this one not so bad..the driver saw our car and almost manage to pass but he hit the front of our car and skid to about the same place the first car was…it’s terrible..i cried – it was dark, wet and we have no way of letting anyone see our car… I pray that no big truck please.. I don’t want to have more accident!!. then the police came.. they block the whole interstate and clean up the mess… there were 6 ambulances and several fire trucks…we were in Mocksville.. a small town in the middle of Durham and Ashville..It’s miracle nobody got hurt – the guys in GMC (1st hit) they didn’t have their seat belt on I guess.. one got 18 stitches and both were able to walk away from the accident.. Everybody ran to our car and all they think was we were dead (the car is total wreck) and all we can say is we got out of the car before it got hit.. and the seat belt and the strength of the BMV car saved us…I managed to take some pictures…and it’s surprising that we hit the rail twice, got hit by 2 cars and our car look better of in a passengers compartment than the GMC…

Everybody there was so nice.. They took us to the hotel.. we had our dog so there not much choice to go but we went to Comfort Inn and they got us a room with a discount.. it was about 3.30am.. we were very exhausted but we couldn’t fall asleep. We managed to sleep for a few hours and got up at 7 to call the insurance company and car rental….

Now we are at home.. I’m exhausted but I couldn’t sleep.. too tired and still shock.. This is my first time in the accident and my first time got a ticket and it was a total wreck but it’s the best outcome ever.. nobody got hurts. Not bad anyway..Now everything is just a dream – a surreal dream and now it’s all over.. only missing a car and my insurance payment would be 100% higher… umm.. I just come with a BANG!

No sore at all.. not even from the seat belt.. in my memories (i was in shock) the swirling and the hiting while we were in the car was quite smooth.. it's weird.. but i dont feel hurt or sore from the accident at all.. Bram said the same... even my dog who was in the back seat was ok

Bram said our seat design to hug your body so i guess we didnt move much during the insident.. '

Did you see th pic? when i look inside during the day time again.. the passenger compartment was untouched.. just a little scratched out side and would get hurt from the broken rare window... but we were thinking that if we were inside during the GMC hit - we would problably come out alive too...

Glad you are OK!!!!

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Or an Emergency Triangle, everyone out on the roads in mainland Europe are required to carry one in their car. :thumbs:

Glad you're both okay, though. Looks like it was a big crash, you're very lucky. But I'm sure you know that. *hugs*
