"Earlier today you were in a car accident while driving your grandmother's car on your way to your Biology midterm. Luckily you were not hurt, nor were any others, but your vehicle and another have significant damage and are headed to the repair shop. Since you were texting your friend while driving instead of paying attention, you ran through a red light, so the accident was your fault. Police responded to the scene and your insurance company has been notified. Your grandmother's car was towed away to get repaired."

Journal Entry:
11/3/20 I got in a car accident today. Honestly, I’m still really freaked out about it. All I can hear is impact sound and I think the smell of the air bag is going to be in my nose forever. I have some burns on my forearms from the air bag, but they could be worse. The whole thing could have been a lot worse. I had to text Phoebe to come pick me up and I feel bad because she was in the middle of class. Mostly, though, I’m worried about my insurance rates going up. My parents haven’t said anything explicitly, but I know they’re upset with me. With all of my sister’s hospital and medication bills recently, I don’t know if we can afford higher insurance. I’m definitely going to have to get a job. Since marching season is almost over, I should be able to, but would I be back and forth from home over winter break? I don’t have a place to live in Tallahassee over the summer. Maybe the Rawlins will let me stay with them? I don’t know. |
