IT WAS NEW YEAR'S EVE 12/31/2018 IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS GOING HOME AFTER PICK UP DINNER FOR MY FAMILY AND I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN AND I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES AND IT DIDN'T CATCH ON AND I LET OFF OF IT AND PRESSED ON IT AGAIN. I STILL FELT LIKE I WAS SLIDING AND THAT WHEN I PRESSED ON IT EVEN HARDER AND I KEPT SLIDING. I TURNED MY WHEEL SO I WOULDN'T HIT STRAIGHT TO THE TREES AND THE DITCH BUT ONCE I TURNED THE WHEEL I FELT THE CAR BEING PUSHED LIKE THE WIND BLEW ON IT AND NEXT THING I FEEL THE CAR WAS HIT AND ROLLING DOWN THE DITCH AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. IT HAPPENED SO FAST I THOUGHT WE WERE DIED CAUSE IT WAS MY 6 MONTHS OLD DAUGHTER AND I. THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE ACCIDENT MY NECK WAS HURTING SO BAD THAT IT HURT FOR ME TO SWALLOW AND MY CHEST, SHOULDERS, AND BACK HURTS. MY DAUGHTER AND I WENT TO URGENT CARE ON 1/2/2019 CAUSE THE DOCTORS OFFICE WERE CLOSED AND THE EMERGENCY ROOM WAS FULL OF PEOPLE THE NEXT DAY CAUSE IT WAS A HOLIDAY I WISH I HAD WENT WITH THE AMBULANCE OR WENT THAT SAME DAY CAUSE I WAS IN SO PAIN AFTER. WE DIDN'T GET VISIBLE SCARS MY DAUGHTER WAS STRAPPED IN HER CAR SEAT AND I HAD MY SEATBELT ON CAUSE I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I HAVE MY SEATBELT ON EVERY TIME I'M IN A CAR I CAN FEEL MY BRUISES I COULDN'T GET A MRI CAUSE I WAS GIVEN A PREGNANCY TEST AND IT CAME UP POSITIVE BUT I DID GET A X-RAY ON MY NECK. ALL I CAN TAKE FOR PAIN IS TYLENOL 1 PILL EVERY 6 HOURS OR 2 PILLS EVERY 12 HOURS. I HAVE TO FOLLOW UP WITH MY DAUGHTER DOCTOR NEXT WEEK TO SEE IF EVERYTHING STAYS NORMAL FROM HER URGENT CARE CHECK UP. I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY CAR CAUSE I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST AND THE CAR HITTING SO HARD I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY?
