Amanda becomes a statistic
The call that every parent dreads came Wednesday. I was at work when a frantic Melisa called me and said Amanda had been in an accident. Amanda was okay but was shaken up bad after her air bag deployed. Worse, the other driver fled the scene. The officer at the scene told us two good Samaritans had stopped and one even chased the other driver down to get her to return. The woman refused but the car description and plate # was provided to the police. Melisa took Amanda to the Emergency Room where they checked her over and gave some pain pills. She suffered a few burns from the air bag deployment and some nasty bruises. She was very upset about her little car, but we reminded her the car is just metal and plastic and doesn’t mean anything. The car did not fair so well, however, I was impressed at the Hyundai Accent’s safety. None of the glass shattered, the crumple zones worked and it kept my daughter safe.
