car accidents are NOT fun!

This is my 4Runner... Thumbs up to Toyota! The strong frame is evident here! Not too bad, you think?

You should have seen the other 2 cars! Here's one! This is the one that hit me practically head on. This damage was from the 4Runner.

This was taken the night of the accident.

This was the next day. You see the pole that I ended up at is fine.

There are some nice big tire marks on the sidewalk

WoW! Last night was a memorable one! My kids and I were following Steve home after an evening at a friends house. Steve drove seperately because he came later than I, after he got off work. To make a long story short, another car hit my 4Runner, and something in my car triggered the throttle to stick and I COULD not stop! I rammed ANOTHER car and a light pole. My tires were still going full speed, even after I was stopped. Steve was in front of us and watched it happen in his rear-view mirror. So I am so glad that he was there to help get the kids out and help me calm down. It all happened so fast! It is amazing how things can change in an instant. I really believe that everything happens for a reason. The reason for this? Not sure. But it may become evident sometime. I am just so thankful that no one was seriously hurt! My kids and I are fine (I have a few large bruises), the driver of the first car was okay as well as 2 kids in the back (so I heard), and the one driver of the second car was not hurt. It could have been so much worse!
