My First Crash...hitting a car that is.

Well...It finally happened. I hit a car! Nope, it wasn't a pole or a barrier. Every year I have to hit something stationary. It's just in the stars for me. And yes, my car is TOTALED. Friday, January 9th I had just dropped off the babies and was heading to work. Adam had called me in the morning and told me to drive EXTRA careful. He had seen many cars off the road, but I didn't quite make it. I was almost to work on 6000 West. I was heading down hill, when all of a sudden I see a Toyota 4 Runner in the road and Karen (she is on my team at Whittier Elementary)standing by her car. I tried to stop which was a mistake on an icy hill. That didn't work. I tried to turn left, then right, then any way that would not hit the Toyota. CRASH! It was over. My front end was smashed. The Toyota was protected from it's spare tire. This road was so dangerous that I almost got hit from behind me. That car was able to stop, but then got hit by another car. This road cost 7 cars and 3 of them work at Whittier Elementary. Luckily everyone was ok. Everyone else's car had minor bumps and dents. Mine is gone forever.
