Slow Motion Fast

I left work on time. I drove my truck today as Dave's car is in the shop and he may have needed the Mini to transport kids to visitation. Turned on to Fourth Plain and headed up the hill. Slowed down because there were a lot of people at the busstop and I wasn't sure about anyone using the crosswalk with that many people. Made it past the crosswalk and started to speed up, just in time to think "what is that guy doing? Oh shit" and he hit me almost head on as he veered all the way into my lane from the inside eastbound lane. I was amazed how I had time to think it and then wham it was all over. I'm pretty sure my truck is totalled. I sat there for a bit and tried to call Dave. Couldn't remember how to use the phone to make calls. :p A witness helped me get the door open so I could get out and someone else helped me find my glasses. I was so happy they were in the truck and hadn't flown out the window. The cops, fire dept and ambulance were there really quickly. I opted to wait for Dave to go to the doctor. My knee felt pretty banged up and my neck and shoulder were sore from the seatbelt and airbag deploying. The tow trucks took our trucks away. Did I mention I got hit by an older truck?
Turns out the guy who hit me was veering away from a guy in front of him who had pulled out in front of him because that guy wasn't paying attention to the bus that was stopped at a busstop. Someone took his information and the cops found him. Made him come back and gave him a ticket. The cop said that guy's insurance is the one that should pay for all the damages. Sure hope someone's does. Glad I was driving the Dakota, even if I am pouting about it being done for.
Doc said I am going to feel worse and worse for several days and then slowly feel better. My knee is banged up but not broken. Sitting in class is going to be fun this weekend I think.
