I had a very bad experience today, and just wanted to vent. I was driving to my mom's house this afternoon (with my kids, my sister, and Tucker in the car), when I noticed a car about 1/2 mile behind me swerving off of the road. The car was on my butt in a matter of seconds, almost rear-ended me, and then swerved to the other side of the road. I picked up my cell phone and called my husband's work -911. (He is a 911 Dispatcher)She went down in the grass median (2 lane divided highway) then swerved back and RAN ME OFF THE ROAD. I was on the phone with his coworker and while she was dispatching the police, I was telling her what was going on. She accelerated and got pretty far ahead of me. I tried to catch up to her to get her license plate number, and I watched her run another car off of the road. She then rode the concrete median into town, luckily the traffic light was green, cause she blew right through it. She then swerved into oncoming traffic. Several cars swerved out of her way, but there was a steady stream of cars coming from the other way, and just in time she swerved into the turn lane. She ended up hitting a truck that was stopped waiting to turn. Then, she didn't stop, she kept revving the engine and hitting the back of the truck. I stopped long enough to get her license plate, and could tell that she was having some sort of health/alcohol problem. Dispatch sent the police and an ambulance, and I had to pull over in a bank parking lot until I could stop shaking.

I just found out that she had overdosed on drugs, her wrists were freshly slit, and she was suicidal. My husband said that she was still in the hospital this evening, but will be going to mental health when she is able to.

I have never felt as much rage as I did when I found out that she was trying to kill herself. She endangered my family's life and many many more people who were in the other cars that she passed and ran off the road. I am so thankful that it turned out the way that it did, and no one was hurt/killed. I now feel sorry for this lady.

Please say a prayer for this lady who so desperately needs help. She will be in my prayers for a long time to come.
