Wow

So I had a normal day at work. Nothing too exciting....
I do have a story to tell...

On my way home, I was hungry and thinking about what I could make for dinner. I drove up to my neighborhood only to find a gray truck past the stop sign, looking like he was going to cross the street. There were no cars in the other lane, so I took it slow (make sure I didn't hit the truck or the curb). I took a slow left into my neighborhood and BAM!! What the!?!?!?!?!?! I saw white flying in the air to the right of me. I hit someone on their bike!!!!! They were riding so fast and had driven behind the gray truck. There was no way for me to see them. They didn't have any lights or anything. I hit someone. I don't know how far they flew, but thank God they flew into the grass and not under my tires.

I pulled over and immediately called 911, completely shaken up. Some people from who knows where started running over to him. I saw a crumpled body on the side of the road. I was so sick to my stomach that I had killed someone. The cops arrived first, rushing over to the limp body. Shortly after, the fire dept and paramedics arrived. I had called my mom right after I hung up with the dispatcher, so my whole family had arrived to the scene.

As I was talking to the cop, explaining that I didn't even see him, I kept looking over at the paramedics and the body (I didn't go near him at all)...I heard he fell onto his head and had a big gash over his eye... Fortunately, nothing happened that would be life threatening. The cops later informed me that he reeked of alcohol and the girl who was riding another bike (his girlfriend?) didn't even know her name or if he had been drinking.

I'm okay physically. Shaken up? Extremely! I wasn't charged with anything at all. All I got was some marks on my bumper from hitting the bike. I thank God that he'll be okay! Actually...come to think of it....my back is killing me....probably from nerves.

I wish I had a hot tub to soak in tonight....
