Scared and shaken..

Last night was one of the scariest of my entire life. I was driving home from Warroad and trying to turn left, the guy behind me didn't see my signal he said, and he broadsided me on my side of the car. I remember hearing a metalic thud, screaming, looking at my friend Anna, who was with me, and then being in a ditch. My parents car is crunched...the towing people said basically totaled. They said, when my mother called there this morning, that they thought "Whoever was in there must have been quite hurt", and upon finding out of my injuries they pronounced me "very lucky". I fractured my right middle finger, have a large bump on the back of my head, as well as a cut on my leg and sore jaw. I think I broke my side window with my head, at least the bump on the back of my head leads me to think so. I found glass pelets in my ear. A few moments of the aren't clear..I may have blacked out, I'm not totally sure. We were both wearing our seatbelts, thankfully, otherwise we both probably would've gone flying out the front window. I'm still shaky, of course crying for a lot of last night. I'd like to say I kept my calm and handled things very maturely, but I didn't. My big brother came to the rescue and his friend with a pair of sandals, mine are in a flooded ditch someplace. I have plans of never driving again...ever.
