At roughly 3 p.m. Central European Time on May 1, 2012, there was a car crash. We as a family were involved, but not with a car – it was the fence around our large garden.
I happened to be outside because I was already looking for a rope to hang myself with, since all the most beautiful things I had experienced over the last few days had collapsed like a house of cards :’-(.
(I will fill in the rest directly to the person concerned, I am not going to write it here for everyone.) When I heard the crash, I knew someone had not made the turn and that it probably would not be just a light scrape. I rushed out into the garden, where my sister was already talking to the people involved in the accident – the woman who had been driving the car and her husband/whoever, who was driving a van just ahead of her. He gave us some details like the insurance policy number, his wife’s personal ID number, a phone number and something else, but now I cannot remember what.
Then he said he had to take his wife home because she was in shock. If Dad had been here, he would not have let them go, but neither I nor my sister knew what to do in a moment like that, and above all I did not know yet that the woman was completely drunk. I only found that out later from my sister’s boyfriend, who was riding by on his bike and said she had already gone off the road twice before she hit our fence. Besides, when they were trying to push the car away, the woman could not even stay on her feet. And I put that down to the booze rather than the shock and the dizziness and fainting that come with it.
And the guy supposedly smelled of booze too. I personally did not notice anything, but my sister said he was not exactly sober either. What a brilliant idea, letting the most wasted person drive a car alone. Then the police arrived, took some details from us and from what the guy had given us, and then they just waited.
Supposedly until 8 p.m., because today there were a lot of crashes and at least one of them was even fatal, which we heard directly from them. My sister, since she was the main witness to the whole thing, will go once they summon her to the police station to testify about how it all actually happened. Then Dad arrived, and I sat outside with the others for quite a long time – about 2 hours in total.
