Accident witness gets more than she bargained for

On Jan. 15 I had a terrifying single-vehicle accident on the Highway 17/17A overpass after hitting black ice. I was very lucky to walk away and also very fortunate that witnesses came to my aid.

However, the witness vehicle was then hit by another vehicle that also lost control on the black ice. (I wonder where the highway maintenance crew was as mine was not the first accident that morning in that same area.)

The lady in the witness vehicle was taken away in an ambulance with a back injury. I think of her often and hope she is OK and wanted to express my gratitude again to her, her son (unfortunately I didn't get their names), Nicole and all of the emergency personnel who came to my/our aid that morning.
