Chelsea is OK

Well, that didn't take long. Per the title of this post, Chelsea is OK, but she was in a four-car accident Saturday night. She was a little sore in multiple places yesterday morning, and already had an appointment to see a doctor later today, so they can see if there is anything to be concerned about.

It was on a freeway off-ramp, and doesn't appear to have been anywhere near full freeway speeds, but nonetheless her passenger may require some delicate surgery.

It was near ASU, and apparently there was a lot of Homecoming traffic. The offramp was backed up almost to the freeway. Chelsea was stopped, waiting for the light. Apparently the girl who hit her was trying to get directions from her phone and did not get that the offramp was nearly full until too late, although she must have slowed some. She rear ended Chelsea, who in turn bumped into the car in front of her. While everyone else seems to be OK other than sore, with bumps and bruises, Chelsea's passenger has some eye damage that may require surgery. We'll know more in a few days.

Heather was also rear ended not that long ago (at very slow speed) by a distracted driver looking at his phone instead of driving his truck. Distracted driving seems to be the new impaired driving.

So my last day with Boeing was last Friday, the day before Chelsea's accident. I'll take this as another reminder to use our time well. Be safe out there.
