Freakish Accident

My neck hurts!!! It has been an accident prone week for me. All started with the little tumble I had, followed by a couple of knocks and bumps into various bits of furniture. But, I guess I needed to end my week with a "bang". (yes, I know, corny)

Was popping down to my fav bookshop to go sieve through the tons of new books that arrived. As I had a whole ton of books that I was about to return as well, decided to jump into a cab... So there I was, in a cab, going down the CTE... texting various individuals. Somewhere near the Moulmein exit, the usual CTE syndrome "happened"... traffic came to a standstill... for no apparent reason. This of course led to the usual sighs by both me and the taxi driver. However, what came next was rather unexpected.

Up to that point in time, traffic was actually rather decent for a Saturday, and so everyone was travelling at about 70 to 80 km/hr. The driver of the car behind (don't quite remember the model and make) must have been cruising along and having a conversation with his passenger so much so that he did not realize that traffic had stopped in front... the result being that he crashed headlong into the taxi. Funniest thing I remembered about the incident was that said driver must have been so unaware of the traffic conditions in front of him that there were no screeching of brakes that is typical of such incidents.

Well... poor taxi uncle had a much dented rear, his boot was more or less smashed in. And me... well I have a stiff neck to show for my experience. So yes, it is with much difficulty that I am typing this post. :)
