CRASH! OUCH!

It finally happened. I always suspected that it might, but never really thought it would. I am invincible! I have been driving for 61 years and have been in a couple of fenderbenders, but have never caused one.
I did it! I creamed another car while making an improper left turn ( the officers description, not mine)
I am sitting in the left turn lane patiently waiting for the light to change.....it did and all the cars on my right proceed forward and so did I. Problem was... all the cars across the street also proceeded forward.
In my defense.....the left turn green arrow light bulb was totally green....(it just didn't have a green arrow in it)
The airbags on neither car exploded so it wasn't too hard a collision.
The Trailblazer is missing it's entire front end and will be hospitalized for a while. I was wearing my seatbelt and hit my head on the steering wheel. Grandma say its lucky I hit my head instead of someplace important........Grandma!!!!
