Accident……

So yesterday I was patiently waiting for my mother to come drive me home from work when I get a call from her saying she has met with an accident. Was in shock cos my mother drives at a grand speed of 30 km/h on a good day. If not she never passes 20 km/h!!!
Rush to the spot which was thankfully close by and she is surrounded by cops. The story was that a man had walked right into the car and yes that sounds super dodgy and the cops were giving her a hard time. The man was taken to the general hospital and my brother was sent off to check on his well being. My mom was most traumatized and standing in a corner listening to the cops who were trying to intimidate her saying she will be spending the next few days in remand!

Thankfully the man was fine and he was more concerned about apologizing to my mom and making sure she was ok than anything else. The police looked most displeased and they sent one of their officers to record a statement.

One hour later we were waiting at the cop shed and my brother arrives with the police officer and the statement. We sit their waiting for him to take our statement and he starts writing and writing and writing filling out like 4 pages. An hour later he stops and we think all is done. Then he starts asking mom question like where were you going… what time and then starts writing again and only then we figure at that time he was copying the other mans statement from his notes into the record book! AAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! So another hour of writing and writing and more writing… Finally he finishes and then tells us the car has to be in remand till the man is discharged and comes to the station .

So left the car and finally got home about 11 !!! poor mom had nightmares all night she had a long chat with the man she hit who said he was deep in thought and wasn’t looking when he crossed the road. She gave him along lecture on how he should be careful and how worried she is for him! We have to now wait for the hospital to release him and then return to the police station for another spend the evening… not fun at all !! But thank god no one was harmed!
