Okay, finally settling down, took some pictures and more than anything, I am beyond thankful neither Lilah or Beau were in the truck with us.
Why am I on PDB after suffering a car accident? I'm trying to raise awareness.
Nick and I were driving through a green light, when a red, Chrysler 300M blew through her red light. We t-boned her, she was on a cell phone, and as per 4 witness statements and the police report, she did not hit her breaks nor attempt to stop, and was driving distracted; on her cell phone.
Please, people...hang up the damn phone. You can text people later, you can have your passenger call them for you (she had a passenger with her, neither of which were hurt) or call them later.
Apart from bruises and a few cuts, I was the only one damaged. Woman we t-boned and her passenger were okay and declined treatment.
Our vehicle is the white F-150, their vehicle is the red Chrysler 300M.
Please, please, this could've been YOUR son or YOUR daughter. My father had to get that phone call today that his daughter was being taken to Hurley Medical Center because a MVC (Motor Vehicle Colision). Please, none of you owe me anything, but please, I beg of you, consider making a call later. No one needs to get hurt because of a text message or a phone call that could've waited...

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hate it when I see people talking on cell phones while driving. When I am a passenger I always look at the driver in on coming cars. I have always noticed that outof every 10 that we meet, you can bet at least 7 have cell phones to their ears. Makes me shiver. So unsafe. I am glad you are all ok and the dogs weren't with you.
I have tried with 2 diffferent browsers neither one will allow me to view the picture. Not sure if its on my end or on the PDB end.

No pictures, try resizing them before you upload. Glad everyone is alright and driving on a cell or texting should be illegal.

Thank goodness everyone is OK! Yes, distracted drivers are a scourge on our roads today. No argument here.

Glad you are ok.... It is illegal to talk or text on a cell phone here in California. I have had several close calls because people were talking on their cell phones and were not paying attention.
I couldnt view the pictures either..

Lets try this again, shall we?
Lemme know if you can see these ones, please.
Yes, thank goodness, all parties were okay. TECHNICALLY, our F-150 pushed her 300M into a Dodge Sprinter, but there was only a little fender damage to his car. He didn't get hurt, thank goodness, but left one heck of a witness statement with the police officer, "I don't know what the hell that bitch was thinking! (refering to driver of 300m)"
