Maybe I did a bit. Unfortunately she was still alive in the ditch. I don't carry, and I didn't know at the time that you could call the police to take care of that.
All things considered, it wasn't that bad. I bought an off-road light and plugged it into a fog light circuit so that I had a light to drive back to Chicago on. The AC still worked. I was afraid State Farm would total the car, but they fixed it.
This was the only year that I didn't drive the 911 on that rally, and I'm glad for that. Would certainly have gone into and then through or over the windshield.
