Glad we're ok

My girlfriend and I were heading out to eat last night and were involved in a pretty bad car accident. We were sitting at a red light waiting to turn left onto another road (i was driving her car). The light goes green and start to go, and out of no where BOOM, we get slammed on the drivers side. It was out of no where and i was in such a shock.

My girlfriend got out of the car and i climbed out the passenger door. My girlfriend hit her head on the windshield, and acutally broke through it. She had a good sized lump already and was pretty scratched up. We sat on the sidewalk, and i calmed her down as we waited for the ambulance.

There were a couple witnesses saying they saw the guy run the red light but i was so flustered i didnt get anyones info. I'm sure the cops did, or at least i hope so.

We went to the emergency room and were there until about 3am. We both checked out OK, luckily. I'm so glad she is ok, i dont know what i'd do without her. And before anyone asks, we were not wearing out seatbelts. We made a promise to eachother that we will from now on. The airbags were a big help, you'll see what i mean in the pics.








sorry for the crappy cell phone pics but you get the idea. In person the car looks a lot worse, theres alot more damage than just the dents you see in the pics.

HOT DAMN!
definitely good to hear you are both ok.

Did the cop say anything about you guys not wearing your seatbelts? It's illegal to drive without them in MA, isn't it?

wow.. i can honestly say I know what if feels like to send your head through a windshield.. IT didn't hurt bad the first day.. the following two weeks were MISERABLE!!!.

I hope you guys end up being ok after the pain heals.. my wreck was the last time I didn't wear a seat belt too.

The cop actually didnt ask, thats kind of weird actually. I got asked by everyone at the emergencey room though.

Glad to hear you guys are both okay.

But I'm a little confused. You were making a left and a guy ran the red light and hit the side of your car? Or was he coming from the opposite direction and you made the left in front of him. Because if he hit you from the side your GF head wouldn't of hit the windshield and the air bags wouldn't go off. Air bags only go off in a frontal collision. Unless it was a side airbag. But still the only way your head goes through the windshield is if you are traveling forward and suddenly stop, like in a head on collision.

But that still doesn't explain how you got all the damage on the drivers side. I just don't get it.

we were in the middle of the intersection about to take a left and the guy ran a red light and hit us on the side. The driver and passenger airbags went off and thats where she hit her head. There is no damage to the front of the car, only the side. Dont know why the airbags went off but i'm glad they did.
