I was on our way loft from work on Monday and I fell asleep behind the wheel.
I worked all day on Monday and Monday and I was busy.
I spent 10 hours on Monday installing radiant flooring in a beach house. It took more than an hour to drive out to the beach and traffic was congested the whole time. The day was genuinely long, but I still went out with our friends that night. The two of us were celebrating Kenny’s engagement and I didn’t want to miss out on the fun. The two of us went to three weird bars and a nightclub before the people I was with and I were done for the night, however by the time I passed out on our bed, it was 3am. I had an emergency call as soon as the sunshine came up and I was out the door in multiple hours. I drove back over to the beach to investigate the radiant flooring issue. Thankfully, the radiant flooring was installed respectfully, but I never attached the central terminal that supplies power to the flooring. It was a silly goof up really due to our tire state; On our way back from the beach, I could feel our eyes starting to grow fatigued, then just a handful of times I caught myself drifting off to sleep. I barely made it off the freeway. I was on a country road when I fell asleep behind the wheel. I didn’t wake up until the ambulance driver was shining a light in our face. I must have passed out when the truck struck the tree. I had to get fourteen stitches in our head and I’ll be out of work for three weeks.
