Wreck on Icy Roads

I had driven over to "grandmamma's house" (which was actually over close to the Augusta/Rockingham line there where the school bus used to turn around) and I think I was in a big light green pick-up truck. I was going over there to take her trash away, and as I was throwing her stuff in the back, Mom showed up.

While we were putting more stuff in the back of the truck, Grandmamma was telling us how Grandaddy had said that he was ready to "go" soon before he died, almost as if he had willed himself to die because of knowing that his body wasn't going to make it much longer anyway.

After this, mom got in the drivers side of the truck, and grandmamma got in the passengers side, and they started to drive out. I noticed that it was cold and that there was a layer of ice forming on the ground. They weren't going very fast, and so I was walking along with them up to where the driveway met Keezletown Road. When they got up there, I told mom to stop because I was going to offer to take the trash anyway mainly because of the roads being like they were.

When she went to stop, the truck just kept on sliding and went right out into the middle of the road, and a Jeep Wrangler that was heading towards Weyers cave tried to stop as well to avoid hitting the truck, but it smashed right into the side of the truck instead. I basically saw the truck almost "fold" around the Jeep. I got very very angry at this and I was throwing something around and yelling and carrying on because I felt that it was my fault because I had tried to make mom stop, and she ended up not being able to because of the ice.

Mom and grandmamma got out of the truck, and the guy got out of the Jeep, and I was still throwing my fit because of the wreck. I think that they all ended up talking for a while, and I knew that I was going to be in serious trouble, although, I'm not sure if they even ever approached me about it. I felt like I could feel their anger coming out towards me as well, but I don't think they ever directly expressed it to me. I think that I remember something at one point (but I'm not sure if this was before or after the wreck) about grandmamma crying really hard and me giving her a big hug.
