All's Well that Ends Well

Kim was in an accident today.

She was traveling to work at about 7:45, headed west on I-88, when the vehicle in front of her lost control, spinning and bouncing off of the guard rails, back and forth across the road. Despite her best efforts to stop and stay out of the way of the other vehicle, it hit her door.

Kim was so badly shaken that she stayed in her car. One of her colleagues from school was traveling behind her and saw the accident. Stephanie stopped and came to Kim's passenger side door. She quickly made the choice to call for police and ambulance. Then they called me at work.

The good news is that Kim is fine. She was taken to the hospital in Schenectady, where I was able to meet her when she arrived. After being examined, she was given some Tylenol and sent home to rest. She'll stay at home tomorrow as well.

We're waiting to hear about our car. It's been determined that the other driver is 100% responsible for the accident. Good thing, since we didn't have collision on this vehicle. The frame of the car is damaged, so we think that it's likely that it will be totaled. Shopping for another car is not something I'm looking forward to, but I have no complaints at this point. Kim is fine and that's all that matters.

The door was in this position after the accident and will no longer close.
