So I'm just sitting in a ditch, contemplating life.

[ArcadiaGP]

Slid off the road a couple hours ago into some snow. Been here since about 8am. State Farm couldn't find anyone to come without about a three hour wait.

Howre you today?

Sheriff pulled up to see if my car was stolen. That was fun.

 

[JetGirl]

Sorry for your luck.

Pffft, that's Kirk's usual Friday night.

Guy just drove by and said, "If I hadn't seen you there, it'd probably be me in that ditch, I was coming through here way too fast"

 

[patience0830]

Sorry for your luck.

Not to be mean, but, if nobody else put him in the ditch, he made his own luck. Hopefully lessons were learned.

Good luck gettin out. Hope the rest of your day is better.

Where exactly are you? Can you be pulled without a tow truck?

 

[hoosierdoc]

Was just a police chase on 37 north from martinsville. Guy's in median (ditch) now around 144/37

You driving a maroon minivan?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Nah, I'm around cr 700 N, just hit a wierd patch of ice.

Truck should be here soon... But I said that a while ago.

The weather is warming up and the snow is melting, and NOW you slide off the road into a ditch?! Just kidding, hopefully somebody comes along and pulls you out soon. I just about ended up in a ditch during the very first snow of the season back in December. There was a little bit of slush on the road but clear travel grooves through it. I didn't think much of it and was doing about 50 in a 55. Suddenly the car started pulling hard to the left, then back right as the rear end started to fishtail. Then it tried to kick around the other way again and I was able to slide safely onto the shoulder. Don't mind me, just testing the tires...

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Haha, yeah. Just as things warm up.

Had a pack of peanuts in the car, haven't had to resort to auto-cannibalism yet.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Ah that blows. Nice to know that your vehicle has become a "slow down" sign for the lead foots.

I wasn't doing ballet on the wintery sidewalk...in fact, I was being cautious... but I still fell.
Sometimes **** just happens.

I got rear-ended on I70 Friday coming home from Richmond, and sat in the shoulder for 2.5hrs waiting for ISP to come do a report....I feel your pain.

Bad karma......

 

[HeadlessRoland]

Does this mean that further news updates are on a three-hour delay?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Total time in ditch: 4 hours. Wrecker came by and pulled me out, finally.

Just... amazing. Might need to switch from State Farm after this shoddy service

 

[gunworks321]

Happy you are out and unhurt. How about the vehicle?

Dude, it's winter. It's slick. You are the gozillionth person stuck in a ditch this morning. Even from a police standpoint it's taking wreckers 2-3 hours to pull folks out if we call them. It's not State Farm's fault.
