The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy niece was involved in a car accident this morning.
She's banged up, but ok and wants to go home. Her friend is in rough shape. Niece said she had to fold back the skin of her friend's forehead that covered her eyes. Lots of blood. The guy in the other vehicle was laying on the ground, not moving, and she said he looked like he was folded in half.
Never ever heard my brother that shook up when he called.
What a scary call that was, this morning. what a way to start the day.
But it could have been a lot worse for our family. And I hope her friend and the other guy get to live to tell.
