Lex. Icon. Devil.
I was coming home from Job #2 late last night. Stopped behind a guy at a red light, when I glanced up and noticed a guy coming up behind me. "He's going awfully fast," I thought idly, looked away, then looked back. "He's still going awfully fast...and he's not slowing down." All I could do then was brace for impact.
He hit. Hard.
My car flew forward, hit the car in front of me, then rolled to the side. I let out my breath, then put the car in Park, and prepared to get out, trying to remember all the stuff one needs to do after an accident (I've never been in one before).
The guy who hit me backed up a bit, drove around both of us, and left.
I managed to get a partial license number, which was amazing considering I was still quite woozy from the crash, and all I could really think was "He's fucking LEAVING?!" The guy in the other car got a partial description of the guy and the vehicle, as well.
Somehow, I'm fine. My head bumped against something (possibly the sun visor), and I've got a bit of stiffness in both my arms and my neck this morning. But when I saw the back of the car, I realized how lucky I was. The thing is absolutely totalled. Even the driver's seat was broken into pieces. I managed to get all the important stuff out of the trunk (via the backseat - no way I could open the trunk now), but some stuff was wedged in there so tightly it ain't ever coming out.
Cops came, took information.
Ambulance came, did a cursory check on me. I was OK.
The truck left some debris of its own in the street. Between that and our descriptions, they found the guy within minutes. He was so drunk he couldn't understand their request for a DUI test.
Finally got into bed around 3am. Didn't sleep all that well, but I guess that's no surprise. I may go to work late today, or come home early. And it looks like I'm walking for the foreseeable future.
On a brighter note, it's my one year anniversary here on JUB! Yay!
