Front of Car
On May 7th my wife was in a car accident. I have not taken much time to post anything on here since then, so this post is long overdue. She was driving southbound on I-222 in the left lane at around 9pm and a collided with a pickup truck that was traveling north in the southbound lane.
Location of Accident (approximate)
About a week after the accident I was able to see the car. It was a 2000 Hyundai Accent. Jen swerved to avoid the oncoming truck at the last minute and the two drivers sides collided. Jen broke her humerous, ulna, femur, fibula, and left toe all on her left side. She also had hip fractures on both sides. Her left upper arm was damaged and was closed up with a skin graft. Luckily it is cosmetic only, and the arm is expected to function normally after she recovers. Here is what is left of the car. Note the roof was cut off by the emergency crew in order to get her out of the car.
There have been some articles online about the accident. The latest one from the Reading Eagle details the most recent developments.
Jen was in Reading Hospital for about 4 weeks before going to Manorcare in Sinking Spring. I have since rented us a first floor apartment and moved us both there. She gets around with a walker for now. We have a lot of things to unpack yet, but I hope to have a fully functional apartment within a month or so.
