Car accident

So I made it home to NZ and surprised my parents. Mel, Finn and Karla picked me up from the airport and drove me south of Christchurch to where my parents live in Rakaia. Mum was very shocked and surprised.

I had been home nearly 2 weeks when Mum and I were involved in a car accident. A guy did not see us and pulled out in front of us. We were doing 100kms and we only had time to say to each other "OMG we are going to crash!" before we hit a white ute in the side. On inflation airbags pump out white powder which we confused for smoke so we tried to jump out of the car straight away. It was very scary and the impact has bruised us badly.
I was driving and have seat belt burns, a burn from the chemicals used in the airbags on my hand and bruised knees. Mum lost a tooth and cut her lip. We were lucky no one rear ended us as we may not have been so lucky. The other guy was fine as we hit is front wheel rather than crushing in his driver door. He was lucky.

We were all very lucky.
Wear your seat belts and drive carefully out there.
