Yesterday, I was in a serious car accident that nearly claimed me my life.
I was driving to pick up my brother from work and it was about 4:30 in the afternoon. Just as it turned to dusk, my eyes were beginning to close. The first two times, I opened my eyes with no problems. The third time was sudden and in just three seconds...
:nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: I SMASHED RIGHT INTO A PHONE POLE, AND WAS NEARLY CRUSHED BY IT!:nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:
I was literally screaming for my life. Luckilly somebody was there to call 911. There was glass all over my coat and pants from the impact. The whole time i was awake. It took around 30 minutes for the EMS people to get me out of my dad's car, because the power had to be turned off. I had to wear a neck brace (which was really uncomfortable) as well as lying in a stretcher the same amount of time it took to get me out and into the hopital.
My injuries though were minor. A laceration to the head, a sore neck and a bruised knee. It couldv'e been worse as that night couldv'e been my last.:nervous: |

| whiplash is going to be a bitch, mine didn't set in until a month or so after the accident. Hope it won't be a problem, glad you're ok! |

Or a pedestrian.
I don't know where I would even begin to cope with the shame from killing another human being with my car just because I was being negligent. |

I still am.
Right now im still in New York in my old house.
The reason why i crashed was because i wasn't aware of a medication i have been recently taking. I took the pill at 1pm and 4.5 hours later, it was still having an effect. The result, i became drowsy and then the rest was history. |

| Ouch, that sucks. As long as you made it out alive, that's pretty much all that counts. |
