Well, I just got some free time to write this down. I would just say that it was an unlucky day for both of us. We were excited & busy packing stuff for our trip to Indiana the next day.
So that afternoon after Amin came back from work, we went to the coin laundry which is only 2 blocks away from our house. On the way back, we came to a four-legged intersection which has two lanes on each sides. We were on the right most lane. Amin stopped because the traffic light was red.
When it turned green, Amin hit the pedal. I remembered that there was a van on our left, and it stopped in the middle of the intersection to turn left. When we just about to pass the van, we heard this loud streeching noise, and boom! There was this big truck from the opposite side, crossing in front of us! Amin immediately slammed the break and I could just scream arrghhhhhh...
The truck hit us pretty hard. I was so shocked, my shoulder and neck hurt badly. Amin was shocked too, but he wasn't hurt that much. Fortunately, a tow truck was behind our car. The guy helped moving our damaged car to the side of the road so that we didn't stall the traffic. There were eyewitnesses stayed behind to give their statements to the police. So we got a good case against the stupid, redneck old lady driving big truck *sigh*
So two weeks after the accident, I feel much better now. My back & shoulder are not hurt anymore. We still sticked to our plan to go back to Indiana for 5 days. And I had so much fun that the accident didn't bother me anymore, alhamdullilah.
So, what happened to Ford Focus now? Well the insurance guy just confirmed that the damage costs around $6,000 which is more than the market value of the car. So the car is totaled :(
Kinda sad to think that I won't ride the Ford Focus anymore..
