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!

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

Chris

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.

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

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.
