Default sad day today.





Happened at around 6:50 pm . just as i was passing through an intersection, the light turns yellow. Im sure it has happened at least once if not more to everyone. However, there was this "idiot", excuse my language, that decides to turn in front of me and we collided. Shooting me to the side hitting another car.

When the police asked him what had happened. I kid you not, this is what he said. " i waited inside the intersection and turned left when i saw the light turn yellow" police responds," you didnt look to see if there was oncoming traffic?" " no..." and thats where it ended ..

hopefully, it'll be totaled because it looks pretty effed up. i dont want to be driving that after all that damage.

Overall, there were four cars involved in the accident. The person turning left and i and two that were hit in the crossfire. Fortunately, there was no serious injuries. I got the most screwed up and was able to walk away with only a few scratches on my face and arm.

Makes you glad you were in a Lexus when in an accident like that. It could have been alot worse in a lesser car. Good luck and don't forget about your health after this kind of a collision.
