3 Car Accident

January 17th, 2007

Some of you may or may not know but I was in an accident Saturday evening. I was heading home to waterloo from Atlantic when I was involved in a 3 car accident. I’m physically fine but my truck is dead and resting peacefully somewhere (I’m not exactly sure where it was hauled off too). If you want generic mixed information about the accident check out Page 4A of the Jan 15th Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier, or view the other article here: Times Republican Article
I can’t tell you much more about the accident at this time, just that I was the only one to physically walk away from it. Quite scary really. Here’s a thought, what if I hadn’t washed my windows while I filled up with gas in Des Moines. I recall that the gas stopped pumping, but I hadn’t quite finished cleaning off my windshield yet. Had I not decided to clean my windshield, I probably would of left the gas station 10 seconds early…
So whats the lesson here? Wear your seat belt, drive a big old truck, and whenever you get the chance, wash your windshield while filling up with gas.

First, I am very glad you are well. That is pretty freaky,
second, if you left 10 seconds earlier, you might not have been involved right? quit washing your windshield!
third, your link appears to be broken.
fourth, still glad you are OK.

Holy shit! Good to hear you’re alright. Let me know if you need a ride anywhere.

Glad to read you are alright. If you would have checked the air in your tires or just drove faster you may have not been involved either. I bet somehow too….about 7 years ago when it took you 3 hours to get to my house (1 hour drive) that may have had something to do with it too.
