That's 80 Kph...
Madison (my 1 year old daughter), myself, and Nova the family wonder-dog were in a really terrible car accident on Sunday. A 79 year old woman ran a red light and totalled our Focus wagon. It wasn't one of those "yellow changing to red" situations, it was a clear red light. Luckily we were able to walk away from the accident with some bumps and scrapes but the car is a write-off! The entire front end of the car is gone. The Firemen on the scene couldn't believe that we were able to walk away from the crash unscathed. Madison was a little shaken up but just fine nonetheless. I had a bit of trouble getting my door open but it didn't take much when I heard my daughter crying.
It happened at a busy intersection and we were both going about 80 Kph. (The posted speed limit)
I was heading to my Sister's place and the elderly woman was heading to church. Apparently she was late...
She ended up in the ditch and was brought to the hospital. Aside from a sore chest (from the air bag hitting her) she will be just fine.
The Police charged her with running a red light.
Hopefully they'll take away her license and she won't be on the road again...
P.S. Nova "the wonder dog" walked away with a bloody nose. Luckily we had him caged in at the back of the wagon. He weighs over 46 KG's. (over 100 lbs)
