Driving back from Moab, just east Green River, Utah. Sudden change from road to ice from a spring storm, going around a bend, car goes sideways, hits the side and flips a few times.
Thought process:
- what is that?
- oh crap, it's ice
- driving fast on ice is silly, some drivers should be more careful
- wait, i'm driving, this is really really dangerous
- why am i going sideways?
- we're going to have an accident, i wonder what it'll be like, interesting
- having an accident will suck, stupid insurance, i like this car, grrr
- this might be serious, shit
- give up trying to control the car due to the angle of car direction and car alignment to road direction
- 'i love you'
- loud noise, take out a few bushes
- hold head in, make sure it doesn't touch the roof, spinning
- my face is full of dirt
- everything stops
- 'warning sign' by coldplay continues to play on the radio, creepy
- are you ok? yes, yes. seriously ok? yes.
- why are we not injured? oh well
- how do we get out of here?
- crawl out back door after getting the keys (cause someone might steal an upside down car you see....)
Call 911, nice people stop and see if we're ok, police come, take the report (i'm not cited which is nice, it's technically a no fault accident), tow truck guy comes and has a lot of trouble, gives us a lift to Green River while telling us his brother flips his car all the time and saves money on new tyres in the process, we have lunch and wait for the Greyhound bus to take us back to SLC, see a drug bust, get back to SLC, cab from bus depot home with a dodgy looking cab driver who had his mate in the front seat, go to sleep and wonder what just happened.
Photos, car was write off.
