Outa Commission
 
Hey Guys and Gals,

Guess its a theme for this month for our region. I'm outa commission for the forseeable future. This morning at/about 8:00am I hit a patch of black ice on I-95North and proceeded to be slingshotted across the highway. I was shot ova to the right hit the gaurdrail and then back ova to the left where I met that gaurdrail.

The kids where fine and myself I ended up being brought into the ER due to my back hurting and the previous accident I was in that caused me to own the 8. As it stands right now I havent looked at the car and no idea how bad she is damaged. I'll be taking a look at her tomorrow and pictures shall follow.

Fawk the cold weather. Sorry for your loss.

Black ice sucks. Surprised you did not have snow tires though, not that it matters on ice but who knows. Hope it all works out for you.
