[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 556860, member: 1514"] I live off a road that is named Deep Branch and it follows a river so it snakes and curves. For some unknown reason they decided it was a good thing to make this road 55mph. Idiotic to me because some of the houses are only about 20 feet off the road especially since they came through over the years and widened the road. Back before we owned our own place we rented on the road. (This is a community that Tony was born in) It was a small 2 br home that was set back off the road about 20 feet. The real issue was we were in the middle the bend of a big curve on the road. Now we are complete flat land. People fly down this road. 55 is like a suggestion to them. One Saturday morning I was getting the kids ready to go outside to play. Cory was 5 or 6 which would put Jamie at 7/8 and Billy probably at 10/11. I cant remember exactly when the accident happened. I was getting all their shoes on and tied. Jamie and Cory liked to play in the front yard and especially did for worms in the front yard to feed to the chickens. Then they would go play in the barns in the back. Well suddenly I heard this god-awful sound in the front of my house and I ran to the kitchen to look out the front window. As soon as I got in front of our window with the AC unit in it to look out the top window, a mustang wrapped itself around a tree right in front of my window and the back end of the car smashed through the house under the AC throwing me across the kitchen into my fridge. All my shelves on the wall came crashing down that held my plates and glasses. I was screaming to the kids to get out of the house. We ran outside and all the neighbors were coming out too. The guy in the car was trying to shoot up some kind of drug and needles were all over the car. At first he was trying to get out of the car to run but the door wouldnt open. He was holding a knife up to us or to himself alternatively. Someone called the cops because I didnt have a phone. I have never been so scared. Finally the cops got him but he had no license, it was his girlfriends car, she had no license or insurance. I was renting and had no rental insurance. He was flat broke with no job. He got convicted but I never saw a dime of restitution. Heck, we even had to fix the house. My landlord didnt. I have often thought about that. Cory has had to pay tons of restitution to get off probation but that guy never did. I lost a lot. [/QUOTE]
