An accident that prolonged my journey!

Feb 04, 2015

Today I was headed to TWH, for my Nurse Practitioner appointment. I was so excited!!! Toronto is normally about a 35 minute drive, on a good day for us. We left 3 hours early, just cause of the snow and how early my appointment was. As soon as we got onto the 401, we see cars, massive amounts of cars. I was like WTF!! So I turned it to the Oshawa station to see what was going on. Apparently @ 10 pm the night before, a man decided to drink and drive. He was in a Jeep Rangler. He swerved into a transport truck! The transport truck the slammed into the guardrail and flipped on it side. The trucker died instantly, and the drunk driver remained alive. We had to get off the 401, and find an alternative rout. By 7am we had made it only to Brock st Whitby, and that's about 5 km from my home. We gave up. By the time we would have gotten to TWH, it would have been 11am.. way too late for my appointment which was @ 830am. As soon as the clinic opened, I called and explained everything. The lady on the phone was extremely understanding. I didn't cause this! She then proceeded to tell me that the next available date for the NP wasn't until the middle of June. I'm so heartbroken and pissed. Not only did that drunk driver kill a man, but he has caused me, my life to be basically left in the ditch for the time being. Not only has this extremely stupid man, that decided to drink and drive killed a man, decided to ruin a lot of other innocent peoples lives. I don't deserve this!
