Ok. How about this one. I had just left work and was in a hurry to get home. Instead of going through town like I usually do I decided to take the back road because it would be quicker. Well it had rained most of the day and as I was pulling out of the lot at work it began to snow (late January 1996). So as I'm driving down concession rd. 13 (bad omen) I notice that there are ice patches all over the road but I'm in a hurry so I don't adjust my speed. As I drove up over a small rise in the road I hit a huge ass patch of black ice and before I know it my truck is spinning out of control. My truck does 2 complete 360s and halfway through the 3rd one it nails a hydro pole, the hit is centred on the drivers door and I go flying. I become concious about 10 minutes later laying on the floor of the passenger side with glass all over me. My left femur is broken in 3 places, left hip, acetabulum and femoral head are destroyed and lower back is crushed. As the ambulance crew is pulling me from the wreckage of my S-10 I look towards the road to see the OPP officer hit the same patch of ice I hit and skid his car into the ditch on the other side. I needed 12 hours of surgery to repair my hip and spent 2 months in hospital and 8 months in a wheelchair. I still walk with a bit of a limp and am the perfect weather vane. I can tell when its going to rain hours before it starts
