Hit By A Drunk Driver

After the wedding Scott and I were on our way home and were struck by a drunk driver (West Broad and Alton and Darby Creek Rd). We are ok. Scott went to the hospital and checked out ok. Just a lot of muscle soreness and stiffness. The driver hit us while we were stopped at a light. I saw the lights in the side mirror coming up fast and yelled out to Scott. Then we were hit pretty hard. The truck hit us and continued down the road about a quarter mile. Her front driver side wheel was in the middle of the road along with our bumper and other car parts. Scott ran after the truck because it appeared that she was trying to run. He called 911 and got her plates. The sheriffs dept. ambulance and fire truck were there within minutes. We called our friends Michelle and Alan to come pick us up. The kids were at home with a babysitter and I needed to get home to relieve her. Scott stayed on scene to wait for the tow truck. After he got home I encouraged him to go to the hospital to have his neck checked out. He agreed and Michelle drove him to Doctor's. He got home around 2:30. Still in pain and very tired. We talked to the insurance company Sunday morning and hopefully we will have this all worked out in a few days. We are just so thankful that we are ok. I can't let myself think about what could have been. It could have been so much worse. I thank God we were able to go home and see our kids sleeping in their beds. I thank God that Scott is still here with me. I thank God that no one else was involved and that this drunk driver was stopped before she got further into town where she really could have done much more damage.
Explanation of pictures- The first picture was taken right after the accident, damage to rear passenger side. The second picture is of the truck that hit us. It is that small object in the distance next to the ambulance. The car in front of us was just a kind bystander who stopped to see if we were alright. The third picture is of the intersection we were hit and pushed trough. That small dark object in the road next to the cop car is the trucks front wheel. Sorry they are all so dark. It happened around 10:30 and it was pretty foggy. This morning we took the kids out to show them the car. After we assured them that we were fine Grisham said that Daddy needs a new car...a racer one:)
