That parked car came out of nowhere

Black ice. I will now go into an overly descriptive blog of how I hit a parked car. First I must preface the story by saying today was a busy day. I had my BFA interview (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Education) at ten and had a matinee show and in-between I had to go shopping and get dinner then jiffy on back to the closing night show of Violet, which is a beautiful show. So after dropping Ben from Carl's Jr. (where I discovered that when you substitute Sweet Potato fries they charge you extra, never knew) I was off to the show. After less than 2 blocks I was beginning to slow up for the intersection when I noticed cars stopped there so halfway down the block I start to press my break and I hear them skidding and I could feel shifting underneath me so I begin to move the steering wheel to gain traction, nothing. I start to slid to the right where there are parked cars and despite all my best efforts, I bumped quite forcefully into a parked SUV. It surprisingly was not as scary as I thought it would be, which is odd because I get scared super easy. I got out and assessed the damages, it was kind of bad for the SUV the whole driver door was bent in with my car. I awkwardly went over to the nearest house and knocked on the door and asked the man if that was his car, pointing at the SUV. He told me it was his friends and that literally 20 minutes ago someone else hit his car. He asked how big I lied and said a small dent. When his friends came out he asked how bad and I said it was pretty bad. We both struggled to walk on the road because of the ice. He asked if I was in a hurry and I told him that I had a show and he was concerned about me getting there on time. Eventually I moved the car and the police came over to do the paperwork. When the cop told me that I would not be receiving a citation the man who I hit acted way more relieved than me. He was a champ. I wish to nominate him as the Julie Andrews Kind Stranger of the Year. I show up to the show late and because I called and left a message they understood that I was in a pretty bad accident, they were all a little let down by that fact that the other car was parked. I prayed and was thankful that nothing bad happened. I felt a peace during the whole ordeal, the accident, confessing and police work part, it amazed me just as much as the sincerity as that man. People who are understanding are great and we need more of them in the world.

No worries everyone I am whale and healthy.
