Don't accuse witnesses of ANYTHING.

I happened to witness a small car collision yesterday while I was driving to the Kirkland Dance Center. I will not go into accident details, but basically a Honda Odessy pulled out into oncoming traffic, & surprise-surprise, got hit by a BMW. I happened to be the only "Good Samaritan" who stopped to see if everyone was alright. The BMW driver was shaken up, but okay. The Honda Odessy driver didn't get out of her van, so the BMW driver approached her vehicle to see if she was okay. The BMW driver came back & said the woman was on the phone with the police (which I reminded her is what you're supposed to do when you get into a car accident) but still, the woman didn't even come out of HER van to make sure the other girl was okay. RUDE! I kept re-assuring the BMW driver everything was going to be okay, because she did what any of us girls with nice cars would do when you get into an accident: CRY! 


A few minutes later, the Honda driver got out of her van in a huff, & approached me with the phone to her ear, bluntly asking if I was the one who hit her. I looked at her puzzled and replied, "Noooooooo...." while pointing to fully in-tact my car which I was leaning against. Then she asked if I was a friend of the girl who hit her. Again, I replied "Nooooooooooo...I just saw the accident & stopped to see if everyone was alright." Her attitude then changed to that of a whimpering puppy, "I think she bruised my ribs from the impact-she was driving too fast-I bet she was on her phone-I think I have whiplash..." Needless to say, I probably rolled my eyes in front of her. Oops.


I didn't want to wait at the scene since they both seemed to be fine, so I gave them both my information in case the police or insurance companies wanted to contact me as a witness, then I was on my way to rehearsal. I received no calls from anyone last night, so I figured they had written me off as a witness.


Upon checking my email this morning, I received a LONG-WINDED email from the Honda driver explaining what I already knew about the accident, but from her point of view. She was basically trying to get me to believe her side, & tell me that the police officer was wrong for giving her a ticket for pulling into oncoming traffic & the BMW driver was the one at fault because she was driving too fast up the hill. Then in the same breath, she accused me of telling the police inaccurate information to confuse the situation, "buddy-ing up" with the BMW driver having made up my mind who was at fault, & then exclaimed more about her pain from the accident, telling me I should have been more been more concerned about her well being, the fact that she's a single mother, etc.


Pardon me, but WHAT THE FUCK, LADY ?!?


I sent her an email back saying she is the ONLY one to contact me thus far, & if the police officer gave her a ticket, it was for her negligent driving, not because of anything I said, because no one even tried to contact me. I then went on to say that she need not accuse witnesses of anything, especially since I was the ONLY one who stopped to make sure they were alright- not knowing EITHER of them.


GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
