New year's day hip hip hooray
Friends and food and good times
Death toll on the roads rises
Every year we keep track
My partner got his P Plates
Late December last year
Two days later on New Years Day
He was driving home from yet another party
He had nothing to drink
He also had little sleep
I chose not to go with him to the party
I could have been in the passenger seat
I'm 5 months pregnant
And said at the last minute I did not want to go
On his way home traveling
At just 60 km/hr he was hit
T boned at a cross intersection
By a young L Plater and her grandma
A bystander called an ambulance
The police came too to get the details
The car was written off
And towed to Epping
My partner was taken to
Royal Melbourne Hospital
There he stayed for 2 nights
Two CT Scans later he was given the all clear
His injury report states a bleed in the brain
He is home now and feeling fine
