Crap my dad just called and said my mom was in a 3 car accident and she got trapped in the car and now she's in the hospital. She called my dad already so she's awake and alert and whatnot so it doesn't sound like it's life threatening but they did put her in a neck brace for precautionary reasons.
*Update*
My mom was on County Road I and the road makes a sharp right turn that you take at like 15mph and it goes uphill. It's right next to the military arsenal. Well there is a side street up the road and there was a car waiting to make a left turn into the street and there was a 2nd car stopped behind him and a 3rd car ran into the middle one who ran into the guy making the turn and since his wheels were turned to make the left turn he spun across and hit my mom and spun her around and she went into the ditch and the car flipped over a few times. My bro rode with her in the ambulance and I guess my mom asked him if he had her sunglasses with. The car is totaled. She isn't cut anywhere and it doesn't appear as if she broke anything. They said she may have blacked out during it but they won't know until they are done doing tests. The car she was driving was a Cadillac SRX and according to my bro the roof isn't even caved in from the roll. The speed limit on that road is 40mph so my guess is the guy who caused it was going 40 or so when he ran into the 2nd guy who was stopped waiting for the first car to make the left hand turn. For that momentum to be generated and passed from car 3 to car 2 onto car 1 who spun around after getting hit just doesn't come from going 20mph. I'm guessing the dumbass was on a cell phone at the time. And if he was he's in deep shit to. Knowing my dad he will try all he can to sue for this. I don't know how else you run into 2 cars that are at a complete stop waiting for traffic to clear so it can turn. County Road I is a 2 lane road with no stop lights or stop signs until you go down another mile or so then you hit Interstate 35W.
Had to wait on the details as I was eating dinner in the cafeteria when my dad called me so I had a hard time hearing him.
The irony in all of this is she was on her way to a visitation for her uncle who died on Sunday from prostate cancer.
