My boyfriend and the rest of the security team were driving out to Woodstock today, meaning they would be passing through my town, and so at 1:15 he texted me and said, meet me at the gas station in 15 mins so we would get to see each other (we live one hour apart).
So, I jumped in my car (4 wheel drive Subaru with snow tires), and started driving the 15 kilometres towards the Main Stop gas station. I was driving 90 km/h, speed limit 80 km/h and the road was a bit slushy. I was coming up to a big turn where on Dec 21, my boyfriend and I went off the ditch driving in a snowstorm.
As I came around the turn, I remember thinking, I’m going too fast. I hit slush/black ice, something slippery and started going towards the snowbank, which was huge because we just got 2 feet of snow. I remember saying “OH S&#(@” and then BOOOM. I hit this snowbank at 90 km/hr.
I opened my eyes and realized my foot was on the gas pedal. I stopped. Tried to back up. Nothing.
I called my bf frantically, no answer. I got out of the car and saw that my front end was buried TO the hood in a ditch. No way my 4 wheel drive was getting out of that.
Several cars drove by; one truck stopped but he had no tow ropes so he left.
Then I started bawling. I think the shock wore off and I cried. I tried calling my boy again and he answered. He said he was 10 mins away. He had the entire crew of boys from the security crew with him.
I sat there bawling, and then saw him approaching in the van. At the same time, 2 other vehicles stopped. I’m really thankful for good samaritans.
We dug, pushed, prodded, my car was not coming out.
Suddenly, an army guy stopped in a big truck. He said he had a jeep and a winch and he would be right back.
He came back and amazingly dragged my entire car out of the snowbank. My car’s front tires weren’t even TOUCHING the ground, is how high I was.
It took approximately an hour, from crash to being free…though 20 mins of that was me sitting in my car bawling.
This week is getting off to a really bad start…

Awww that stinks! Glad your OK!
Once my car broke down (my older car) and it was a steering arm or something, so it was running but wouldn’t move. I was on a residential street about 2km from my parents house, and moved over so that traffic could pass. My hood was up and hazard lights on, its forty below and I’m a girl by myself crying-
No one stopped, and I was flipped off twice!! (Like I said, people could get around me easy I was pulled over, AND I was on a residential road)Friendly Alberta my you know what!!
