Car Accident :(

Yesterday I got into a really bad car accident.   I was driving down Anderson Hill Road when we came to a complete stop in a lot of traffic.  As I sat there, with my friend in the passenger seat, we were suddenly jolted forwards into the car in front of us, and then immediately thrown back again.  The car behind me had not seen, somehow, that we were stopped, and went full speed into the back of my car.  The car in front of me only had minor damage, luckily.  My car and the car behind me, however, were towed, and will most likely be totaled.

My car had been in my family for 11 years.  It’s a Rav4, and I loved driving Rosie the Rav.  It was my mom’s car originally, but when my older brother’s car broke down at one point, he had borrowed it for college.  And then, once I got my license, the car became mine.  I learned how to drive in that car, and I’ve had some fun road trips in that car.  I was hoping that she would get me through senior year, but unfortunately she didn’t quite make it through junior year.

I hope that I don’t have to pay any money, since it obviously wasn’t my fault.  I will find out at the end of the week for sure, but at the moment it’s killing me not to have my car.  I am very lucky that no one was hurt, and that we are all okay.  It was all Manhattanville students involved in the three cars, which I thought was kind of strange.  But I am very sad to see my car go, and I have no idea how I am going to get around or get home without a car.  Boston is a bit too far away unfortunately.

  1. I am sorry to hear about your car accident. It is a good thing everyone was ok. It is interesting that the three cars involved were all Manhattanville Students. I would not be surprised if the majority of traffic on that street was Manhattanville or Purchase students.
