Car accident. Hit a patch of ice on a backroad 2 minutes from my house and went into a telephone pole. I really wish I could remember more than that but the only thing I remember before the accident is leaving the pizza-hut parking lot, which was about 15 minutes away. Broke my left femer. Apparently the doors had popped off and were down the road about 30ft. I was sitting in between the seats on the center console where you put stuff in with the sterring wheel about a foot down and to the right of where it should have been. The seatbelt broke apparently, because I remember buckling up and I always do anyway, its habbit. They had to cut the car apart around me, ripping the roof off, and they used this hydrolic thing to push the dash away from me so they could pull me out. They said I was lucky because the bone came real close to hitting that major artary in your leg and I could have bled to death in a matter of seconds. The worse part of the whole ordeal was the smell of the airbag mixed with blood.. That sticks in my head. But hey.. good ole technology, had me start physical therapy 3 days after the accident and sent me off with an ace bandage and some crutches.
