Well, one of the biggest parts of yesterday will be resolved on Saturday. Anyway, hearing that one of my friends will be allright, I feeling MUCH better and I’m willing to share.
Yesterday, my friends and I had a trip planned to go up to Joshua Tree. We got a late start, but that’s usually what happens on our trips. We figured which vehicles we were riding in. We stopped at McDonald’s for some breakfast, however, one vehicle was taking too long, so we decided to leave without it. It caught up a couple miles down the road and everything was going fine. The one that caught up was doing some slightly crazy things like trying to lead despite not knowing how to get there. He also left his right blinker on all the time for some stupid reason despite us telling him. He was also swirving a bit, trying to be cool I guess. The guys in the vehicle I was in didn’t get and thought he was being sort of stupid, but hey he was in control and the blinker thing told us that if we commented a lot on it he would just keep doing it, so we didn’t say anything. We made a stop at a gas station near Joshua Tree for some quick snacks, potty break, etc. We were joking around and having fun, chasing one fo our friends around the store, pretending to be gay, telling your mom jokes, etc. It was fun. Anyway, we got to the road up to Joshua Tree and were talking about what we wanted to do when we got in. Two of the guys had SUVs and one had a truck, the lead guy in the truck likes to off-road and since all the vehicles were capable of doing it, he suggested it since he knew where to do it. Jokingly, the middle guy went to the shoulder to be like "Hey, is this what you mean (no one was around anyway). He did it a couple of times, however, just as the car I was in came around a corner, the one in front of us rolled 2 twice and then spun around over the shoulder. We think that he lost a little bit of control and then over compensated to correct it, which caused the flip. Two of my friend sin the back seat flew out. One died on the spot (the biggest piss off) and one was seriously injured (the one that is getting better very fast). All the vehicles were packed. The three in the back of the one that flipped weren’t wearing seatbelts (the reason I told you to wear your seatbelt no matter what last night). The rest were just banged up, but are fine. The accident looked just like a movie. One of my friends was screaming and I saw it roll clear as day. It looked just like a movie. I didn’t even get what happened until after 911 was called desptie seeing and hearing it all. Luckily, yes there si a luckily, it happened near some people that were paramedics and were on their off time and kept us calm and took care of our injured friends, called 911, and many of the otehr things I told you about last night. The funeral for the one that died is Saturday, so I’ll get some closure there and hearing that my friend that is seriously injured should make a full recovery calm me like no other. The police/paramedics landed a helicopter on the road and flew her to a hospital. The car was on fire so the neighbors also ket the fire under control until the rescue services got there. My friend that was driving will be charged with vehicular manslaughter (something the police have to do), but they say it probably won’t be filed and go through. This accident sure brought everyone together. We’re all closer than we’ve ever been before. It is just hard having a friend die right in front of your eyes.
That is why when you corrected me about my using the wrong “wear” pissed me off. It wasn’t the time nor the place. However, I’m still quite bummed, I can just share it better now. So if I’m a bit snappy the next couple of weeks, I apologize, but this has been pretty rough. Or as the comic book store guy from The Simpsons would say “Worst. Weekend. Ever.”
