We had been busy planning christmas dinner as we were hosting my mums extended family. This is always done about a week before christmas and is a fun night. We had been busy preparing and the turkey was roasting. Mum had been a great help with preparations, and was coming back with Dad. It was when I was in the front room getting changed when I heard the bang and instinctively knew it was them.
Half dresses, I raced outside to find Mum and Dad trapped still in the car, but very luckily they were ok. They had been rear-ended as they were stationery waiting to turn right into our driveway. They were pushed into two lanes of oncoming traffic, but thankfully the oncoming driver saw the whole thing and safely slowed down. These lovely people stopped and rang for all of the emergency services who were all so lovely and helpful.
It was only an accident and thankfully no one except this little white car, were really injured. Mum went to hospital to get her neck checked out and Dad went with her, all while our guests were arriving.Dinner was later than anticipated, but the turkey didn't burn and all the kids were good. Mum and Dad were back for presents and dessert and the party went on..
