I got up around 9 am this morning and turned my computer on as I normally do. The first thing I see on my Facebook account is a post from my teenage son saying he got in to a car accident this morning. He posted it on Facebook! He didn't even call to tell me or his father. Nope, he posted it on Facebook! I was in shock.
I am happy to say that nobody was hurt and the car didn't even get a scratch on it. It was the other person's fault. He was stopped at a red light and the lady just plowed into him from behind. He let her go without getting any information from her, which I told him was the wrong thing to do.
I am just shocked that instead of calling to tell us about his accident, that he posted it on Facebook. I think this was his way of avoiding the inevitable questions that I would have had. Of course, I will be grilling him anyway later. Technology! It's a new age....

Isn't that crazy! I found out about my brother's engagement a few months ago via myspace. I was a little upset. Technology!
Okay the Facebook thing is disturbing - yikes! I do have a question though....How does one car get "plowed into" from behind and have not a scratch? ;)
but...
that grilling from Mom and Dad...
ug......
I did have to chuckle at the remembrance. Face book notification WOW, that's even funnier.
Always a good idea to get the name and info of the person and call the cops. A person can seem fine at the time and later have severe back and neck problems. I was fine after one wreck I was in except for a concussion, two black eyes and my legs were all messed up-torn ligaments. The doc told me my neck was messed up too and I'd have arthritis in it when I got older. My neck wasn't bothering me at all......not at the time, but years down the road it really hurts. Then the summer before last we got rear ended with my kids in the back seat. I called the cops, we got the info, there was lots of damage and I got my kids into the doctor and they had mild whiplash. Cleared up in a couple weeks but the doc said to watch for more problems.
Glad he is ok
