I was driving to work and then I was spinning like a on a ride at the state fair. What is so vivid to me is that I recall the exact moment that the disconnect from me just driving to work and the spinning like a top happened. It was at minimum surreal. I asked myself how can I be spinning like this when a split second ago I was driving to work. It then came into my consciousness that I had been hit by another vehicle. I didn't have much time to process the act as I was trying to think what I should be doing to help myself stop spinning. It was at the next moment that as I was going around the offending vehicle was driving directly into my drivers door.
As I was looking to my left I could see the other driver and his companion staring at me stone faced. Both men were in their 30's and looked to be white construction type workers from what I gathered in that split second from their clothing. Then the sight shifted as I continued to spin and they kept going forward on their way. I on the other hand kept spinning and after about one and a half turns I knew I had to do something to stop my trajectory. I was on an overpass rising up toward the apex. I hit the brakes and turned into the spin. As I slowed down and eventually came to rest backed up against the guardrail I looked to see the other vehicle cresting over the top of the overpass and then disappear.
I was fortunate in that I was only traveling at about 30 miles an hour when the collision happened and also because there was little to no traffic at that time on a Sunday morning. However the chance of witnesses was also slim and although two stopped to ask if I was okay, both declined to wait to give a statement for the police who I called a few minutes after I composed myself. I did report a hit and run the best I could and we will see if anything comes of it. All I know is that the whole experience has unsettled me and although I couldn't make it to work yesterday I am sitting here typing this getting ready to work today instead. Yesterday could have been much worse and I truly know that.
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
