Drive Safely

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I have no idea why I'm sitting here typing this. Friday at about 11 am after leaving school I was in a hellious car accident. I don't know why I'm alive, but I am. I was driving, about 55, roads were a little wet and a car stopped kinda suddenly in front of me, and I couldn't stop. I lost control went into the other lane, and got smashed by an 18 wheeler going 60 mph...

I have a broke nose...my whole body is seriously bruised, i have some cuts over my eye and his fender came in my truck and cut the back of my head.....it's amazing I'm alive seriously..

Please people slow down when the weather is rough. I have no vehicle now..it literally almost split my truck in half...

Thank God you are okay. Let me know if you need anything. Love you!

[wondergirl9847]

Thank God you are okay, Chris!! Hope you heal quickly!

People do need to slow down, for real, especially when the weather is bad.

BTW, what the frick kind of car did you have...because we all need to get one!

[WelshWitchPMD]

That's awful! I hope that you are feeling better very soon. Thankfully things were not a lot worse.

[estranged4life]

but hope you'll be alright.

I never worry about my driving ability (No tickets in 15+ years) but other numbnuts worry me when they think the 65MPH speed limit (75MPH on the turnpikes) is just WAY too slow and they can pass me in a no-pass section with other vehicles coming in the opposite direction.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm VERY GLAD you are alive. Sounds like you were wearing your seatbelt. Were you?

[GardenStateGirlie]

Chris, so glad you're okay :nod:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

why am i alive? no higher beings out there? I think there are!

[GardenStateGirlie]

Holy ****. Seriously, thank god you're alright with just some minor issues :xoxo:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

this one u can see the 18 wheelers white fender that was actually in the seat with me and cut the back of my head

[ShangriLaTroubl]

18 wheeler was fine...just some dents

[ontheEdgeof17]

Damn Boy. :distress: That is some crazy ****.

[wondergirl9847]

Woah, that is amazing!! I'm positive your guardian :angel: was with you the whole time. :)

[~nightbird~]

WOW! Glad you're okay and Chris, you are lucky to be alive.

Take care and go easy on yourself you are gonna be pretty sore for awhile.

[sodascouts]

Wow. I'm very glad you're OK, Chris. Take care of yourself!

[DeeGeMe]

I'm so happy you weren't any more seriously than you were! But make sure that they thoroughly check you out--do a full-body scan or whatever-sometimes injuries don't show up (even serious ones) until days later! I'd say that you've got some good forces surrounding you that protected you from harm!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Thanks for the concern everyone..it's greatly appreciated..ive just been relaxing ...going tomorrow, try to limp around a parking lot and get a used car hopefully

They did a CT scan...x rays and all that...they THOUGHT that i might have damaged the aorta going to the heart...but turned out luckily it was just separation showing up in the tests from the impact on my chest

[pianogirl04]

Holy crap. Now that is some serious ****. It truly is a miracle you're alive, no doubt about it.

I almost got sideswiped by a big rig a few weeks ago and I saw my life flash before my eyes. I'm not that great of a driver and this is even more of a reminder of how quickly something can go wrong.

Thank God you're alive.

[amber]

Omigosh, thank goodness. your post brought tears to my eyes, I am so very glad you are ok. Take care, dear.

[sara1998]

Glad to hear you're ok. Usually, that story dosent' have a happy ending. Look at it this way, you're on your way to a brand new vehicile!

[Patti]

Chris, so glad you're relatively ok. Those pictures were horrendous--you were indeed very lucky! Take good care of yourself.

[DrummerDeanna]

Man- totally intense!!! You definitely had someone looking over you :nod:

I'm very glad to hear that you're doing alright!! I'll say it again - take care of yourself :)

[SuzeQuze]

Holy cow! I drive a sub-compact car so if that happened I would be gone. Thank God you're okay!!! You've got a few of these for sure :angel: :angel: :angel:

[GateandGarden]

Chris, I'm so glad you're okay. My Mom was in an accident a little like that, and she wound up being okay because she was wearing her seatbelt like you were. Who knew they could be that valuable.They did a CT scan...x rays and all that...they THOUGHT that i might have damaged the aorta going to the heart...but turned out luckily it was just separation showing up in the tests from the impact on my chest

ChrisAnd I'm SO glad that was nothing but separation showing up!

[GODDESS6]

[Livia]

Yikes! Those are some scary pics! You take care of yourself and get well soon! :xoxo:

I was in a rollover accident when I was 16 - and walked away. But, if you saw the vehicle, you would swear anyone in it was dead. Gives me flashbacks, looking at your pics!

Seatbelts save lives! Hang up and drive! Safety first! Etc., etc., etc.

[BTFLCHLD]

wishing you a speed recovery

you could well have saved additional lives by not rear-ending the vehicle in front of you...exploding gas-tanks/etc...you put yourself on the line and were rewarded with your life...take good care

while this way sucks...good driving my man :nod:

godblessyou
:angel:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]
