Look what happened to us again... does it ever end?

Before Richard and I got married I warned him about the Powell curse with cars. There is always something wrong with at least one vehicles in the Powell family. I don't think he really believed me until I was in a car accident Jan 2007 when we were dating, Richards truck clutch went out when we were engaged, and now the beginning of 2009 married and we were involved in a car accident. Yep you read right yet another car accident. And this is where I say does it end?? When something good happens it is immediately followed by something tragic. . . like totaling our good car.

Here is the scoop.... Yesterday Friday night Richard was driving and we were the first car stopped at a red light. We were soon rear ended and pushed about three feet into the intersection. A small compact car (cause of the accident) ran into the side of a Jeep Wrangler and the Wrangler ran into us. My wonderful husband jumped out and started to asses the situation. The small car driver did not have her seat belt on and was bleeding from her nose and mouth. She was the only driver injured. Richard jumped to her rescue and immediate maintained C-spine precaution and airway. There was a police officer that showed up and assisted Richard while I was calling 911. The small car also had a 10 year old girl in the back seat that I got out and put her into our car to stay calm and warm. EMS showed up and took over gave Richard props for his job and she was off to the hospital. The driver was actually a neighbors daughter and I knew her parents, so today we went over to see how she was doing and found out that she fractured her face and broke her nose. WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT!!!!
