My daughter rolled her 94 Honda Civic last night
going 55mph
so she says. She's not sure how many times it rolled. Car was totaled.

She ends up upside down in the middle lane of a 3 lane HGWY The LIE for
those in nYC. Stopped all traffic. She unbuckles her seat belt and
climbs out. She only had some road rash on her arm. Like Terminator.
She was bleeding from her arm so a guy going the opposite way has her
climb the median, calls the hospital and drives her to it, he was some
kind of city worker as he called the hospital on a walkie talkie. Gotta
get his number from the police report and thank him.

Can't tell you all how lucky we are that nothing happened to her. I got
my christmas present early this year I guess.

Gotta say the lil Honda held up well. her having her seat belt on saved
her.

She had only been driving two months. She swerved to avoid a collision
and hit the median.
Her speed/swerve caused her to loose control, she does'nt remember
braking but does remember trying to get control of the car then hitting
the median. Hitting the median caused the roll as did her inexperience.
She is lucky to be alive!!!

Thanks for sharing this story and the photo of the rolled
Honda. I can always stand being reminded that terrible
accidents happen; vigilance pays.

Everyone drive safe this holiday season.
