If it ain't Scottish...it's crap!
my wife i were involved in a major colission fri night around 11:30pm. my vechicle, a toyota highlander, is a total loss, we both have minor injuries to our bodies (cuts and bruses). my entire right side and back and neck are in pain, and jenn has some of the same.
we were both rushed to south county hospital and checked out, the doc said no breaks, but we are going to be sore for 4-5 days. we were released from the hospital satuday.
the short story is we were folllowing my friend home from dinner, a vechicle traveling at a high rate of speed tried came up behind me and tried to pass us on a 2 lane road and in a no passing zone. he came on the side of my vechicle and there was oncoming traffic, he apparently cut his wheel before he cleared my car, hit my rear bumber and spun us into the oncoming lane, we were going appprox 45mph, the police estimate he was doing close to 100mph. my vechicle spun a 180, and headed for the woods, we ran into a ditch and we impacted a very large tree on the passenger side at approx 50mph. the passenger side of the car was almost pushed into the drivers side, all the windows exploded, the dashboard was in my knees, the passenger side door looked like a folded piece of paper and my airbags deployed. i don't know how we didn't get killed, the police and emt's could not believe we survived the impact, let alone walked in to the ambulance (my wife was on a stretcher and had her head isolated, she took the brunt of this on her side of the car).i am still in shock, cause whatever i did or didn't do, probably saved my wife and i. the bad part is i only had 12 more payments on my car, the good, we walked away with minor injuries,and the doc was nice enough to give me an ample supply of vicodan and a muscle relaxor that makes me talk very strange
. i am very,very sore, swollen in places i forgot existed,and see some very strange colors in patches of my skin. this is gonna take a while to recover from.
