So I was involved in a car accident tonight. Giving a couple of colleagues a lift home from work. Pissing down with rain. Went round an s-bend, started accelerating as I came out of it, then all of a sudden the car aquaplaned. Then the tyres caught and it fishtailed. I couldn't control it. Straight into a tree.
Me and the front seat passenger are alright, we were wearing our seatbelts. He's got a bloody nose from the airbag and a bruised chest from the seatbelt. I've got various grazes, sprains and bruises. The 18 year old in the back wasn't wearing his seatbelt. Straight between the seats and smacked his head on the dashboard. Huge cut above his eye, badly split lip. Don't know more than that at the moment.
I keep going over and over it in my mind. What if I'd gone round the bed a bit slower? (I wasn't speeding) What if I hadn't accelerated quite so early? What could I have done differently? The police will interview me for careless driving but they said it looks like just an accident. They also said that as an adult it was his responsibility to wear his seatbelt but none of that makes me feel any less responsible. I should've made sure he had his seatbelt on.
