Last night, I hit a dog.
It darted out in front of my car.
I tried to swerve around it, but it was too late.
It had already gone under my wheel.
The dog's owner screamed and cried over her severely injured pet.
One witness cursed me out, along with all other Jews.
Another came to my aid, saying that it wasn't my fault.
Two others called 911.
The owner zoomed off to the vet.
I doubt the dog made it.
Withing minutes, there were ten police cars and a state trooper surrounding my car.
I felt sick to my stomach.
Just kept imagining the thump and rollover...
And kept shaking over the thought of "What if it had been a child?"
The trooper and policemen all comforted me.
And took down my info.
So strange, to hand ovr my license.
I never received even a speeding ticket.
I still feel sick at the thought of it.

Omg that is my worst nightmare! I was driving yesterday and heard and saw an accident happen right behind me..I was shaking for the next 10 minutes thinking it could have been me..We just have to thank G-d for everything..every day is a gift.
I'm so sorry that you had this experience. I once knocked someone over, which although cannot be compared to this as the person was fine, helps me understand where you are standing, it really knocks you.
oh gosh...
i culd just imagine...
:-(
i once killed a squirrel..but no one stopped to claim it..
But it was still a yucky feeling..
Ooo...I just had that, except it was a beaver, it was almost completely obliviated, and it was on a long, empty strech on Route 80 in the middle of nowhere...
Still freaked me out.
You already know what I have to say about this...but still, I just can't imagine how horrible it must have been. :(
halfshared - i saw an accident happen right in front of me... i was told by my rav that if I witnessed an accident, i'm supposed to view it as if it were me.. scary thought...
smile - i don't know what i would have done if it would have been a person... i'm not a very strong person, emotionally speaking.
