Shortly after turning out of her apartment complex she suffered some type of seizure or something else that caused her to black out. While unconscious she coasted through a very major intersection, drifted into oncoming traffic, and hit another car head on. Everyone (but her) could see the accident about to happen so the other driver was slowed or stopped and Em was not going very fast. The officer estimates not much more than 5 mph. Very minimal scratches occurred to Em's car and little more damage to the car she hit. Because she was unconscious and her car was in gear (thus locked) a passer-by smashed out the rear passenger window so as to get her car out of gear and unlock the doors. Em remembers little or nothing from the time she left her apartment complex until she woke up in the ER. She said she has dreamlike memories of broken glass and people trying to ask her questions but no more. Her sisters reaction was "Gee Em. You get a ride in an ambulance and you can't even remember it!" At any rate, besides hurting all over she seems to be okay though they need to see if they can determine the cause of the seizure. She can't drive until a neurologist gives the okay so that will be a major nuisance.
Blessings you ask? Absolutely. If you know how busy Van Winkle Expressway is at 7:30 am you would agree!
