So I'm Not Dead

I'm not dead but pretty shooken up. Today me and Aaron came back from Edna here to dallas after our break at home for christmas. Well its only a 6 hr drive from Edna to Dallas and we left at 7 am this morning and didn't get to Dallas till 7 pm. What you ask made this trip 6 hrs longer than it should have been. Well when we made it to Waco we were an intersection on a feeder road going towards I 35 if I remember right and a truck plowed into the side of us. Aaron was driving his mustang for those who dont know what he drives and we had the green light and a few cars had past infront of us before we crossed the green light. so it wasn't because he thought he still had the green or was just barely hitting the red or anything. Infact he was going the wrong way up a one way street. He hit just behind the drivers side seating hiting the rear wheel and the back half of the door going about 40mph and did not hit the breaks until after he hit us. It really messed up the car and threw us in over a 360 spin in which we ended up almost hitting a telephone pole. We didn't notice the truck until the grill was about a foot away from the car which was no time to really do any thing to prevent the crash. Luckly Aaron had the right reflex and accelerated when he saw the truck which push us just forward enough so he didn't hit the car straight on. If he had not did this the truck would have hit directly in the drivers side door and with the height of the trucks bumper off the ground it would have missed the roll bar inside the door and would have tore straight through the car. Which would have severly injured Aaron or killed him and it would have push the car side ways instead of spinning us straight towards on coming traffic and the telephone pole we almost hit which would have injured me as well quite significantly. After the hit we both climbed out of the car through the passenger's side, since the drivers side was so smashed in that there is no way you'd ever get it open, we were really shook up and didn't really know what to do first. I found my phone and it took me a bit to call my parents which I should have waited a bit so I didn't scare them like I did and Aaron did the same. The cops showed up emdiately with out us calling so that was nice. As far as getting hurt Aaron said his upper back and neck is sore but not too bad. When I first got out of the car my right knee was hurting pretty bad to were I laid on the grass for about 10 mins till it stoped hurting but its fine now and doesn't look to be bruised. It was just hit pretty hard on the impact. Along with my knee my right arm took most of the hit on the side of the door and its pretty sore right now and was really swollen in one part for the most of the day but most of the swelling has gone down now. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning cause I feel that I'm going to be in alot of pain when I wake up. Our minor injuries are not much to talk about but in the process of hitting us the truck spun us in to a motorcycle that was riding along side us a little ways back by the passengers rear side of the car. The rider was thrown of the motorcycle at some point in the about 20 to 30 ft slide that it took away from us and when we made it to him after the intial shock he was laying on the ground not moving much. He could talk but he didn't move really at all and he was cut up in a couple places on his arm. The paramedics came in and rushed him out to the ER I presume and we have not heard back on his condition yet but we are hopeing he is alright and it has been in the back of my mind since it happend worring if this stranger who I do not know his name is alright. I can only hope for the best and I do not think I will find out what happend to him. The driver of the truck imediately appologized and took full responcibility for the accident and I have nothing against him and was glad that he handled it that way. Yes it did suck that he turned the wrong way and hit us and all but it could have turned out a lot worse and he was admiting to his mistakes. Well after that we waited in Waco for 4 hours for Aarons parents to get to there from Edna and they brought Aaron his Mom's car to drive until its all sorted out. Tomorrow morning Aaron and I are going to the hospital and get checked out to make sure there is nothing wrong with us and to also have a record of it for his insurance. So all in all its been a very long day which could have turned out a lot worse so I'm happy to be alive and I'm really happy to have Aaron alive and well cause I don't know what I would have done if I saw him injured or what not. That would have been too much to take. Anyways thats enough for now and now I'm going to include a bunch of pictures of the mustang so you know how bad it was.
