Bad Car Wrecks (Graphic)

 I added the word graphic to the title. I was going to do that at the begining, and forgot to. I hope nobody was offended.

Jesum Crow Gryphon!!!  It's a miracle you're here to tell about it. What happened to the girls? Did they wreck too? 

no but by the time we climbed out of the car and up the hill they were hysterical thinking we were dead.

There's nothing like hysterical girls at an accident scene LOL!!!

Mid spring I took the pup out for a walk one afternoon. As we approached the street side of the house I looked down the road and saw a Jeep Cherokee coming toward me and a white Chrysler turning out from the east/west road a half block over. The white Chrysler pulled straight out and turned right into the path of the oncoming Jeep, and almost as if in super slo motion, I watched these two vehicles collide head-on.

I snatched pup up and carried him with me over to the intersection, all the while dialing 911 for the umpteenth time. As I approached the white Chrysler I saw a chubby young woman. She was getting herself out of the vehicle. I stopped to ask if she was ok and she replied that she was. I saw no bleeding, so moved on to the Jeep.

A young girl clambered out of the vehicle and she was hysterical. I asked her if she was hurt and she replied she was. She said her back was killing her and she had a nice sized bump on her forehead. I told her to please sit down but she was screaming and carrying on. About that time rescue showed up, and on cue she fainted. . .

A ha, a faker!!!  I hate people like that.  I suppose she went on, and sued the other driver, typical.  Probably made a bundle too. $$$$$

Here's another story.....

About 18 years ago a couple of guys I went to school with, were out on a motorcycle at 3:30 in the morning. They were headed home, and had been drinking. IMO drinking, and riding a motorcycle at 3:30 am, is not a good idea. They were on a road 1 mile from the guy driving the bikes home, and they hit a cow in the middle of the road. The impact rammed the handle bars through the cow, and both guys flew off the bike. The guy driving was slammed into the side of a hill, and killed instantly. The other guy had critical injuries. He shattered both legs, and had months of recovery. He had to learn how to walk again, but as far as I know, he's still alive today.

A friend of mine went to the visitation, of the guy that got killed. Apparently, his whole face had been destroyed in the accident. My friend said you could tell it was made of plaster of Paris. She also said that there were guys in attendance, that looked more like the deceased, than he did.  Motorcycles can be extremely dangerous in the wrong conditions.

One of the medics at a first aid training that I did, told this story:

A mini-van full of kids was flying down I95 (runs north to south along the East coast). Something happened, the driver lost control and it flipped a couple times. None of the kids were wearing safety belts so kids went all over I95. A truck driver saw it happen and immediately pulled over to try to rescue the children. He couldn't stop the cars from weaving in and out of the children, at high speed, trying to keep going on up the road. Another truck driver saw what was happening and pulled his rig cross ways the interstate. The police and ambulances arrive and the 1st semi driver had to be taken into custody for his own protection because he had gotten SO angry at the disregard the other travelers had for the children laying on the road. I don't know the outcome of that accident. He didn't say.

Wow, that would be horrible to come up on.  I would've been pissed too. That's ridiculous.  It just goes to show how cold and hard hearted some people can be.

no joke, in high school a friend made an improper turn in front of a car, forcing it to swerve and hit a third car head on. (We werent hit at all) We stopped, good kids we were, and the driver literally RAN across the street to us....asked if we had insurance...then limped back across, collapsing into the grass once he found out.
Luckily, a few witnesses came forth saying our turn wasnt improper at all, that the guy was speeding. Served him right.

I once had an Arlen Ness Harley Davidson motorcycle. On fathers day a friend and I decided to take a ride to a local pub to buy each other a FD drink. He had just become a father and so it was our very first opportunity to do so.

As we approached an intersection there was a car coming the opposite way and turning left. We went around the car in front of us and he turned left running us both over.

I remember seeing the car coming and being smart enough to stand up and lift my left leg out of harms way. I went flying through the air and landed on my head (no helmet) and back. I lay in the street during a busy portion of the day. I recall coming to and hearing the driver get out of his car and his wife screaming, "Couldn't they wait?"

That got me going so I got up and started walking over to them. Intent upon giving this joker an attitude adjustment. I took a few steps and realized my leg felt funny. I looked down and saw a tear in my jeans. I opened the tear and saw my calf muscle where my shin should have been, and bone. I dropped like a sack of grain right there.

Sued but the driver and wife owned a ranch in Colorado, which they turned over to the church he was pastor of. I got nothing but a screwed up leg, operation, and a few pins. . .But may one day if he ever gets a real job! 

* Which brings me to another factoid about this little fiasco. I had to have surgery. I lay on the table coming out of the anesthesia, and I felt a distinct pinch. I must have cried out because I heard the doctor say, "He didn't feel that". Then I felt it again as he took the needle to my leg once again. I reacted instinctively, sitting right up and snatching the doc my the throat, and screaming, "Do it again and I'll take your head off"!

Give him the shot!, he screamed. They did and I drifted back to sleep. I coulda killed that bastard giving the anesthesia. He brought me out too soon!

Jesum Crow!!!!  Man, talk about incompetence.  Too bad you couldn't have gotten that ranch. That would have been too cool.

Here's a sad one.....

This happened almost 3 years ago. This guy Jimmy was an ex coworker of mine. I always like him. He was a good guy. Anywho.... He and his fiancee had a baby. The night the baby was born, was also his best friends 21st birthday. So, mama is at the hospital with the baby,and Jimmy,  his best friend and another guy decide they are going out to celebrate, the baby being born,and the friend's birthday. So, they went bar hopping, and got totally trashed. They decided they were going road tripping down some country roads. So, the birthday boy was driving, Jimmy was in the front passengers seat, turned around talking to the guy in the back seat. The back seat guy had his seatbelt on. The other 2 didn't. So, they're flying down the gravel road in excess of 120 mph, hit some railroad tracks and lost it. The guy driving flew out the windshield, as it started to flip, he flew clear out of the way of the car. Jimmy was thrown through the back windshield, and the car rolled on top of him. The other guy didn't get hurt at all.  The guy driving got a closed head injury, but he recovered. Jimmy lived for a few minutes, but was dead by the time help got there.

The police had to go to the hospital, and tell his fiancee that he was dead. He only saw his daughter for a very short time, before he died. Life is sooo cruel sometimes. I went to the visitation, and they had a video of him cutting the babie's umbilical cord, and holding her. I think that was one of the saddest visitations I've ever been to. 

At first Jimmy's family didn't want charges brought against his friend ,because the families were very close friends. As the numbness wore off, and when Jimmy's Mom found out ,how fast they where going, she wanted revenge. Josh got 7 years for vehicular manslaughter, I think with good behavior time he may be out. One more troubling fact... when Josh got bailed out, he got caught driving drunk again.  Some people never learn.

Holy hell Dex!  That one threatened to bring tears to the eyes! 

*Yeah, too bad so sad and all that. I gotta' better chance of collecting SS than getting a dime outta that holy roller feller!
