199? The Crash of Glennys


Writing about my 'ex' always seems a little strange but then, she's as much parent and grandparent as I am to my sons and grandchildren. This 'blog' is supposedly for them. So ....

The car was a Toyota "Tercel" it was light blue. Odd that, all three Hutton car crashes were in blue vehicles .... perhaps we should avoid owning blue cars henceforth.

The place, Highway 102 just where it starts its downhill slope into Truro. Winter and in the dark of evening and, it seems, there were icy patches. I think the car skidded and while going sideways it hit dry pavement. It rolled, a remarkable five times. Incredibly she got no more than bruising and a thorough shake-up and was home again before bedtime. Says a lot for seatbelts.

The car was a write off. I don't think was an undented panel on it. It's replacement was another Tercel, blue again, dark ... but this one survived us.
