Consumer Description
ON 28 FEB 2016 AROUND 11:50 AM, ME, MY TWO DAUGHTERS AND MY MOM WAS HEADED NORTH ON I-185. WHILE RIDING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE WAS GOING TO PUT IN THE HOUSE WE HAD JUST GOTTEN APPROVED FOR THAT FRIDAY AND IN MID CONVERSATION AS I'M GOING AROUND THE CURVE MY CAR GOES OVER THE FOG LINE AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR BACK INTO MY LANE AND BEFORE I KNEW IT I HIT THE MEDIAN (WALL) ON THE LEFT SIDE, MY HOOD FLEW UP AND THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE WALL AND ALL I REALLY REMEMBER FROM THAT POINT IS SMASHING ON BREAK BUT APPARENTLY THE CAR KEPT GOING, HIT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WALL AND CAME TO A STOP THERE. NEXT THING I KNOW A MAN WAS WAKING ME UP ASKING AM I OKAY AND SAID HELP WAS ON THE WAY. I HEARD MY DAUGHTER CRYING FOR HER SISTER BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T MOVE SO I GET OUT THE CAR AND BEGAN TO GET THEM OUT TO ASSURE THEY'RE OKAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS REALLY A BLUR. I REMEMBER A MAN HELPING MY MOM OUT THE CAR AS ME AND MY KIDS SAT ON THE GROUND WAITING FOR HELP AND I REMEMBER GOING TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MY KIDS.
