+2 to the IMPD officers @ the scene this morn.

I got the dreaded 5am call from my panic'd daughter who said she'd been in a terrible accident last night on her way home from work. A head-on with a guy driving the wrong way in a huge pickup. The other guy was arrested and put in handcuffs. She escaped with minor injuries(knees & neck). Her vehicle was totaled, the front end collapsed to the wheel wells. She's lucky to be alive. She's gonna hurt when she wakes this morn.

 

[Birds Away]

Very glad she's okay.

 

[mrjarrell]

Glad to hear she came out relatively unscathed. It's a testament to modern vehicle engineering!

 

[rockhopper46038]

Glad she wasn't seriously injured. She's definitely going to feel it today.

 

[VUPDblue]

That would be me. The other driver made me as angry as I have been in in while. I was Ecstatic when the jail wagon got there. I'm happy your daughter is ok.

Did she go to the hospital to get checked out? Some injuries (like those to the head and neck) may not make themselves apparent until later on (sometimes as much as a day later). It's not cheap, but I think it's always necessary to get checked out.

Glad she was ok.

I'm very glad your daughter is ok. I can only imagine how sore she is today...if she has access to one a little time in a warm Jacuzzi ought to help.

FindingZzeros' daughter was in good hands with you there. Glad you were able to restrain from throttling the moron.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Speedy recovery to your daughter, sir.

Nick, can you tell us what the other driver was arrested for? (I mean I can guess but could be a lot of things).

 

[atvdave]

Best wishes that she's OK..

 

[Brandon]

I believe I saw the aftermath on tv.... Glad are all ok and +1 to VUPDblue.

Thanks for being there VUPDblue! I heard about your other collision call just earlier. Seems like a bad time to be on the road.

Did she go to the hospital to get checked out? Some injuries (like those to the head and neck) may not make themselves apparent until later on (sometimes as much as a day later). It's not cheap, but I think it's always necessary to get checked out.

Thanks for the concern! Ambulance came and said she could skip the ER, or be driven there later. We got her home, elevated her legs, ice packed her knee, hot packed her neck, made some tea. She was in mild shock (not according to the EMT). We gave her 2 concussion tests using light in the eyes. She passed them w/o a hiccup. She's up and about and has to pass a cognitive test with #'s which she just did. I wanted her to go to the ER last night, but she refused.

Thanks for everyone's good wishes!

 

[Jarhead77]

Glad to hear she is ok!!

 

[VUPDblue]

Yeah I came from the other collision directly to hers. The outcome of hers was much better...

 

[Mark 1911]

Glad she's OK.

First thing that occurred to me when I read this was that you guys probably see more bad stuff in a month than most people see in their lifetimes. That would be one part of your job I that would take a lot of getting used to for me.

Speedy recovery to your daughter, sir.

Can you put this in English for those of us not fluent in Indiana Code?

Thank you so much for the care you give to people caught up in traumatic events!
