Monday is the usual store shopping run and I was heading home this afternoon when I got into an accident.
I was heading out the Mt. Baker Highway - weather was overcast but dry and the road surface was dry. A car in front of me displayed their right turn signals and started to slow down.
Since there was no oncoming traffic, I put on my turn signals and moved into the other lane to pass.
Ka-boom. The driver made a sudden left turn and I hit them in the drivers door panel. As I was swerving to avoid them, I landed in the opposite ditch at a 45° angle.
The other driver was banged up but seemed coherent - she was taken to the local hospital for observation.
The people in back of me were kind enough to stop and corroborate my story. Also corroborating it was video from the dashcam I purchased a couple months prior.
I am fine - just still a bit rattled.
I'll post photos tomorrow - truck is going to need more than a bandaid - the front right corner is crunched and the front passenger door will not open. There is a slight crease across the hood - hope the frame is not torqued...
I'll be surfing for a bit but posting will probably be a bit light.
Really glad you are okay Dave and hope that you continue to feel good.
