randomtask37 involved in accident, hurt but alive

[Brew]

This message board is starting to sound like junior and senior years in high school. I think there was something like 20 totalled cars.

think about who's on this message board

Good friggin' point. Although most of the kids who crashed at my school were dumbasses in Hondas.

[///M3Hopes]

well, hes a senior in high school currently, so yea. Also, he only had liability, so they won't be paying for the car(insurance).:( And yes from what i've been told the tree stopped at the dash line.

hey guys, im finnaly back at home. and i am very happy to have the injurys that i have considering how bad it could have been. i was in the hospital for a few days and im still recovering. i will explain the whole story later when im felling a little better. but a little outline for u is that i was traveling too fast on a backroad, i saw a flash of something, attempted to dodge it while hitting the brakes. i happend to be sitting in a patch of gravel. drivers side front wheel locked. when that wheel hit pavement again it wrenched me off the road and into a tree. i was immediatly knocked unconcious and was pinned in the wreckage. after about an hour resuce teams were able to use the jaws of life enough to get me out of the wreckage and to the hostpital. i was in teh hospital until sunday afternoon.

thank all of you for your condolences. im not feeling to hot currently and im on alot of medicine so im not thinking as clearly as i should. i will be writing up the full story at some point so keep in touch.

btw, the total injury list is: broken knee cap, broken ankel, many large abrasions and lasurations on my whole body, ive had many stiches. overall i think im very lucky to only have this short of a list considering the severity of the accident. my dad was able to get some pictures from teh wrecking yard the other day and i will post them when i get a chance. just so u know, when i saw the pictures, i just about threw up. i am very lucky to have come out alive.

I think we should all give a moment of silence for another lost e30 :(

Cars are replaceable, lives are not

[KillerCalypso]

Hope you recover soon...

At least you're okey

that's what really matters.

[Clay'87IS]

Damn man, hope you feel better :)

[randomtask37]

:( Glad to hear he is ok, that is what matters most. Shame about the car tho. Any more details or photographs?

$5 says his tires had something to do with it.

yes these may have had soemthing to do with it. but gravel played a MAJOR part in the whole situation so i dunno how much better tires would have done.

my dad has photos that i will get up eventually along with the whole story. u will not belive i came out alive when u see them.

im not worryed about the car at all. ill get another one someday, this experience made me relize things that i never really belived before. like "cars are replaceable but people arnt.
and i wont be back at school for at least 3 weeks. i cant walk right now and ill be in surgury next week, and ill be in therapy after that.

Let this be a lesson guys, change those bald tires asap.

my current tires. but dont worry. i got avs es 100's on there way.

Famous last words. That really sucks! Let's all learn something from this, eh?

YES

[Heisdan]

Initial response.. :shock:

Glad your ok Drew.. I'm hoping someone besides you will learn something from that expirience.. I know I've learned to respect a couple things more.. and I know you've learned a lot.. just glad your ok

at least you dont look like this>> :idea: or you coulda got shot up>> or.. it coulda been a brick wall>>

I'm just hoping you haven't lost your passion towards cars.. just learned more respect.. kinda scary what speed can do..

[franz]

Drew, glad you are ok! Don't take those pain pills longer than you need to.
Hang in there, bud!
