My poor car :(
Hey guys,
Never really posted in this section but I thought I might as well vent was has been a full-on 24 hours for me and the description of the forum says talk about whats on your mind so this is my two cents about my first full on car crash I had last night (pics below too).
Yesterday arvo a mate calls me up and asks if I want to go see a movie with him and some others, I agree and head on over to his place. As I'm driving it starts to rain and I'm going 60 km/hr up a road (I don't know what that is in miles sorry).. anyway I'm going over a hill doing the speed limit when all of a sudden I see a white V8 SS commodore (for the aussies who know what they are) on my side of the road drifting. I think what the hell do I do, I slam on the breaks but by the time I did that, the car was right infront of me.
I knew I couldn't avoid the crash so I hold on like shit and embrace a fucking hard hit, I pretty much hit his car head on at 60 km/hr (cops later determined he was doing 80 k's an hour) when the speed limit was 60. I smash into the front/side of his car at a decent speed, my airbag deploys from the first hit.. my car spins and the car that was travelling behind me slams on it's breaks and smashes into my drivers door (the airbag had already done its job so only my seatbelt was helping me here)...so the 2nd hit was pretty nasty too, spun my car around some more.
I'm pumping the breaks and my car just isn't stopping, I pull up the handbreak and I just feel my car sliding as I can hardly see and my bonnet is all smashed up and my car flies off the road and just misses a tree, and you can see by how close in the images. Amazingly, I was able to undo my seatbelt and crawl over to the passenger side and get out. Cops, firebrigade and ambulances are there within minutes. I was the only one who got taken to hospital with a fractured rib, which cains but time will heal and painkillers are helping. I'm just glad I missed the tree because my car flew off the road at crazy speeds.
Anyhow it turns out the driver of the other car was someone I went to school with a few years ago, and mind you he is a complete dickhead and it was like his 3rd stack. Good news is the cops knew he was driving like an idiot and was in the wrong, so he'll be charged with whatever they come up with and he has to cover the cost for my car and the other car which got totalled. Anyhow, check out the pics.. I consider myself really lucky to walk away with a fractured rib after everything:
The images are pretty big so I just put them in a folder which you can access below:

If anyone else has had an accident like this or something similar I'd like to hear. Cheers.
