A VAN, WAITING FOR CROSS TRAFFIC AT THE CENTER ISLAND, SUDDENLY JOLTED INTO THREE LANES OF HEAVY CHRISTMAS TRAFFIC. THE CAR DRIVER IN THE FIRST LANE SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES AND STOPPED SAFELY.

I WAS IN SHOCK AND DID NOT KNOW I HAD BEEN BLEEDING ABOVE THE EYE, SHOULDER INJURY, OR CUT ANKLE, NOW SCARRED, UNTIL I GOT HOME AND FELT PAIN AND BLOODY SOCKS, ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER. I REFUSED EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT ON THE SPOT, BUT SELF-ADMINISTERED FIRST AID AT HOME, AND WENT IN TO REPORT THE ABRASIONS,BURNS, AND SHOULDER INJURY, TO MY DOCTOR, AS SOON AS I COULD ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT. A SUBSEQUENT MRI REVEALED MICRO-MUSCULAR TEARS IN THE IMPACTED SHOULDER MUSCLE. THIS 2012 GMC CANYON(TOTALED BY CSAA) WAS RECALLED FOR A HOODLATCH AND FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH.
