Well, it happened - Friday July 9, 2004, about 8:10 am.
I was on my way to work, and this weekend is the big race weekend at Chicagoland Speedway, so there are lots of other drivers around.
Unfortunately, one of them decided to make a left turn from the right lane without signaling and without warning, because he saw ticket brokers in a parking lot and wanted to either buy or sell tickets. He was driving a rented mini van, and apparently didn't see me, or didn't even look.
Fortunately, I'm ok, although my chest is starting to feel a bit tight. Probably just from stress or the force of the seat belt holding me in place.
So here are the pictures.
