My first car accident had to be on my Birthday

It wasn't my fault. I was on my way to school, stopped at a four-way intersection in my neighborhood. I looked left and right and knew it was my turn to go. In my left was a Ford Explorer coming down the road and I thought he was slowing down. I looked on my right to make sure the truck knew I was going since I reached the stop sign first. I pressed on the gas, getting ready to make a left and looked back on my left, instantly knowing something was wrong because the guy wasn't slowing down but by then it was too late. He slammed into my side door, the glass shattered completely, my sunglasses and eyeglasses flew off, my door bent in and hit the side of my body, and the cup holders and gearshift popped up.

Turns out the guy wasn't familiar with the area and the sun was glaring off the stop sign but I'm okay. I'm lucky that he didn't run, to be alive, and to walk away with minor cuts and bruises but man it's gonna hurt like a bitch later on.

But yeah, happy 19th birthday to me :/.
