Well, here I am high as a kite on vicodin, Good sh!t man.
I was headed to work yesterday on 75 SB here in GA. As I am tooling along doing 65in the left hand lane because cops are less than a 1/4 mile behind me, some jackass in a full size truck swerves all the way over from the entrance ramp at better than 90 mph and busts me lfrom behind. I felt the impact, looked up just in time to see the grill of the truck in my review mirror. Next thing I know, I am spinng out of controll across 4-5 lanes of traffic, hit the wall on the right hand side of the freeway, spin back around the opposite dirrection and come to a stop about 300 yards away from the impact area. this guy is still traveling out of control about 1/3 of a mile away off in the woods. 3 othe cars some how got nailed as well.
I am the lucky one. wearing seatbelt, steered into the spins. Shaken but not flipped over. Cops tell me steering into the spins kept me from flipping over. That dodge dakota was one tuff truck.
I got to ride in ambulance, neck brace, backboard, lights, but no siren.
I am thankful for a few things:
1, My son was not in the truck with me at the time.
2, I drive a tough truck
3, Driving school. If I had not been to it years ago and known how to react rather than think about what to do, I might have flipped or rolled.
4, Seatbelts, because I was buckled in and the seatbelt locked up, keeping me in the seat, I was able to maintain control of the truck to an extent that I did not roll over.
5. Highback seats. This kept me from really damaging my neck on impact, plus, it also allowed me to press against it, keeping me in place as wel.
So time to pop a couple more vicodin, lay down and watch Lord of the rings ROTK EE, after my MIL brings it over for me.
Cliff Notes:
Going to work
Got plowed in the ass at 95+ MPH
Truck totalled.
Me feel no pain, just high as a kite.
