I Got Hit By a Tractor Trailer on the Highway

I was hit by a tractor trailer on the highway on Tuesday. Driver was not looking at the road and missed seeing the traffic backup while he was looking at a screen in his truck. 

Don’t drive in front of drivers who are looking at their screens. 

Anyway, it’s why I have been away from Zazzle for so many days now. I am not entirely sure why I am still alive.

Wow – so sorry to hear this! But glad that you’re ok.

OMG! That sounds absolutely terrifying!  I’m so glad that you’re OK. I hope you feel better soon and wish you luck in dealing with all of the non-medical fallout as well. Sending all of my best healing energy your way…

Thank you. I walked away, have a small bruise, got shoulder xray which showed no trouble. Hubby in a back brace for 4 to 6 weeks or probably more like 8 to 12. So it’s a challenging time and I appreciate your good wishes!

Yikes! Very dangerous. I am glad to hear you escaped without major physical damage although the experience sounds harrowing.

The crash was not the least bit scary because I did not see it coming and because the airbags deployed and I was unable to see what we might (and did hit) afterwards. It was either a four or five car pile up, only the truck was going 70 mph when it hit us so we scattered like pool balls, I guess, and there was no actual pile up. But after, when I am sitting on the highway waiting for accident cleanup for over an hour, that was harrowing, trying to figure out what happen next, how can I carry my meds, how can I get around, how can I get to the hospital…that was harrowing for sure.

Like everyone else, we are really glad you and your husband are as good as you are. Get a lawyer and a counselor or a friend to talk to. The lawyer isn’t to make money. It is to protect your interests on any settlement and to make arrangements for bills until things are settled. Talking here or elsewhere will be a release you will probably need. Will do some promoting and idea sharing of some of our new ideas in a few days to show how much we support you. Maybe it will distract you some.
