I was involved in a accident Monday morning on my way to work. I was traveling in the inside center lane, heading north on Holden Rd. A Chevy Tahoe was in the left hand turn lane, heading onto Interstate 85 S, then decides as I get closer to change lanes. This results in me hitting breaks and swerving to avoid an accident that unfortunately still happens. I stop my car in the way of going onto the interstate from N. Holden Rd. Yes people still had room to get by me. They stopped a bit down, but still stopped. I could barely get my door open, people from the Tahoe come over and help me open it.
I get out and find well several things wrong, if any of you reading this have facebook you know what I mean by several things wrong. I call work first and let them know I will be late, my dad gets a call next and then I call the police. Luckily no one from either car/suv was seriously hurt cause well the police took their sweet time getting there. I had a 2001 Chevy Cavalier, love my car, my sweet baby for 6 years till now. So yes several people were stopping to ask if I was ok, if I needed to call the police. So telling people over and over again yes I am fine, and yes they have been called. Just taking their time to get there.
Once the police did arrive he had me move my car, that by the way needed to be towed away given the damage done. When I left the scene of the crime or accident, he still was trying to get in touch with a witness that left their name and number (aw how nice), and also help the Tahoe. No one at this point was charged with being at fault.
So after days of trying to get something done with my insurance (whom loved to tell me every time I called that I had to call the other persons insurance and file a claim. Hello! I pay y'all to do that so I do not do all the damn leg work!), needless to say my Dad got things done, or in the works.
According to my insurance and the report, the Tahoe is charge with the fault. I don't know for what, cause at this point I just want something to start getting done about my car. Either tell me its totaled (which I fear GREATLY), or tell me what to do to get it fixed (something I would love to happen). So right now I am waiting to hear from the insurance about what they estimate my car's damage to be. On the police report its estimated at 3,500 compared to the Tahoe's 1,500. This with reason, scares me to death. My car is old, its over 100,000 miles and its severally damaged to where I can not drive it safely. If anyone again has seen my pictures I posted on facebook would know why I say that.
I love this car, not just cause its paid for, but because of the memories I have of it with my uncle. Which choke me up each time I think about it. And when I especially think about losing it. I know I may have to let it go, I have been looking. But those memories won't be there. They wont be in the car. Yeah they will be in my head, but still not in the car. My uncle taught me to drive and was more of my dad at times then my own father. *wipes away tears that fall* If anyone really does know me, they know just how much my family means to me.
So more to come as I find out more.
