I have been twenty years old now, since last Monday. So in other words my birthday was last Monday. My birthday was the highlight of last week, for me, up until two days later. It was on Thursday morning while I was in route to work, the same route that I take every morning to work, when I wrecked my truck! The accident happened on Lincoln Road. I was driving behind a Terminex truck, about a car and a half behind the truck, and I took my eyes off of the road to get my carmex out of my pocket. I must add that I consider myself a very courteous driver and I only took my eyes off the road, because I had the car and a half cushion. I didn't keep my eyes off the road long, only long enough to get my finger tips inside of my pocket. Before I could look up I had run into the rear end of the Terminex truck! I was soo shocked because I knew I had time enough to look away due to the space between the Terminex truck and I. I know Lincoln road like the back of my hand. There was not a stop light for about four blocks and no stop signs. The Terminex truck had stopped so suddenly because a car turned out in front of him and he reacted by slamming on brakes. The collision occurred so swiftly that I really didn't have time to react. After the contact with the rear end of the Terminex truck I got out to check on the other two people involved in the accident. Although my airbag was deployed I was not injured and neither was any of the other participants.
