Seriously..... yesterday morning about 7:30am I was driving down 95 to go to the rail trail for a 6 mile run. I should have just stayed my behind in bed, but since there was no thunder or lightning I guilted myself into getting out and running anyway. Right at the overpass for the international airport going about 70 mph (the speed limit) my tahoe started hydroplaning and I couldn't keep it under control. The car started spinning, and I hit the guardrail with the passenger side of my front, facing the opposite direction in South bound traffic. Then my rear somehow swung around and smashed the guardrail too. Finally I came to a stop with my front end facing the guard rail and my rear end sitting in oncoming traffic. Thankfully, I am ok, the kids were at home with their dad, and no one got hurt. Because it is a Chevy I had OnStar and I was able to call for help, my cell phone got lost in the crash. (I have found it since) Unfortunately, I am really afraid they are going to total my car. Every door is jammed (even the drivers side) and I am afraid I have bent the frame.

I wanted to show you guys some pictures and give you my explanation of how this sport is REALLY not free!! Along with resting my neck which seems to be the only part of me that hurts.

Oh my! Terrifying news, I'm so glad to hear your okay! :hug: No this sport is most definitely not free. :confused3 Hope you get the car settled quickly and that the pain you do have is gone even quicker. Take care and rest up, hopefully your not feeling more pain or stiffness today.
 
The most important thing is you're ok.

Hope you can get the truck fixed.
 
The Truck is replaceable, you are not. Old military saying, "don't sweat the crashes you can walk away from".

Dave:hippie:
 

OMG, thank goodness you are OK. I agree the truck can be replaced!!!!!
 
I am so greatful that you are ok.

Sorry about the damage. I WISH all is settled quickly and that you are not too sore.

That sure must have been a scary ride.
 
Glad you are OK. Rest up and be well.
 
Dana--OMG! I am so glad that you are safe. The car can be replaced. Take care of yourself and get some rest!:hug:
 
How scary, Dana! Thank God you are ok!

Everyone is right - the truck can be replaced.
And how cool is OnStar? :thumbsup2
 
How scary, I went hydroplaning once on the interstate and it is such a helpless feeling. I'm glad that you only have a sore neck and hope it feels better soon.

Take care of yourself. You only live once but you will own many cars;) Whiplash will start to set in and you will get sore over the next couple of days. Know from being read ended driving in the snow a few years ago. Like DOM's the second day was tough. Had to get some meds from a Dr.
 
Dana,

I'm so glad you're okay. I hope you make out ok with the car, too. It is such a scary feeling to be driving and suddenly know you're not in control. I hope it all works out for you.

What a scare Dana. My heart would have been racing. My hat's off to you for trying to get out there and run. You were doing a good thing. I'm so glad you weren't hurt.
 
Wow, Dana! So glad you're alright! :hug:
 
I am so glad that you are alright!!! Material things can always be replaced, but life can't!! I hope that the soreness in your neck goes away quickly!!!
