Not so much as the outside world unwillingly came to my car.
Meh, I'll just tell you guys.
I was driving home Sunday night from my girlfriends house in Gardnerville. It was about 6-7pmish. I was coming into Washoe Valley from Carson on 395 doing about 60. If you guys remember, that day had some funky weather. At the time I was driving it was barely sprinkling, no snow anywhere, but the road was wet. Well I'm driving in the right lane, I wasn't braking, I wasn't turning, I wasn't accelerating and all of a sudden the rear of my car starts to slide out to the left. Immediately I thought "Uh wtf is going on?" Before I could think, the front end of my car slams into the right retaining wall, spins once and bounces against it again, then slides across the lanes and I hit the left retaining wall head on. I remember right before I hit everything slowed down it seemed like. I looked back up the road at the cars coming at me in my lanes. A bunch of thoughts went through my head. I thought "This is going to be bad. I hope those people don't T-bone me. I've never been in an accident where the airbags deployed..." And then BAM! My car hits, airbags deploy, and I get out of the car as quickly as possible.
It felt as if I were to pull the e-brake while driving. I can't explain it or figure out what happened for the life of me. Perhaps some black ice? I'm not so sure because I saw people swerve around me. But I'm ok, just a goose egg on the back of my head and some red mark on my chest.
But my camera is in my totalled car in my parents driveway in Carson, so no pictures yet.
