Victim by Circumstances

by Jim Knox on June 9, 2009

Almost three years ago (July 13, 2006) I was riding in a car driven by a friend. When we came to a stop, we were blocking a drive way and within seconds, we were struck in the passenger side by a motorist backing out of her long driveway in her mid sized SUV.
