Hi Ya'll,I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Glad to be here Today!

[PJPhreak]

Yesterday about 5:00 Pm I had a "Horrific" Auto Crash.

I went to pass a Pick-up and cargo trailer that was having a really hard time fighting the Headwinds and the Hills of K-99 S. between Wameago and Emporia,I went to pass him and this Honda with a KU Student that had been following me moved out to pass us both at the same instant.
I checked my mirror,hit the turn lever,and went to look in my drivers door mirror to check my blind spot...thats when i saw the right fender and grill of this silver gray car,I flick the wheel right...and all Hell broke loose.

My car (A 2001 Plymouth Neon) "Steps Out" Left (Fishtailing to the left)...I Correct to the Left to counter the skid...The car shoots off the road...Runs fifty feet....TELEPHONE POLE...BANG...TOTAL DARKNESS...SMASH..."DO NOT LET GO OF THE WHEEL!!!"...LIGHT-DARK-LIGHT-DARK-LIGHT...SMASH...BLUE SMOKE..."GET OUT OF THE CAR!!!"...Try Door Handle-Useless...Kick Door Open...People Yelling "WIRE,WIRE,STOP!!"

This is where I "Came To" if you will and the realization sunk in...I Just had a HORRIBLE Auto Crash and walked away.

This all happened within 4-5 Seconds...I ran off the road,hit a telephone pole Reducing it to splinters,tossed the car End-For End Once,Bounced back up in the air and rolled 2-3 times landing back on the wheels.

The Car is Destroyed...Not just "Totaled"...DESTROYED!

I am Alive.

I will Never,for the rest of my life EVER get the Picture out of my mind of that Telephone Pole about 10-12 feet away from the end of my hood and the realization of what was about to happen.

Again...I Am Soooooooooooooooooo Glad to be Here!

On Edit: One Broken Rib...A few Minor bruises. I am EXTREMELY Lucky!!!

It really shook him up to see two fellow students lying in the street bleeding.


Glad you survived with only a broken rib too. You deserve a few beers.

7. Those things are rather small, but they are extremely well designed.

I'm glad you came out of it relatively unharmed. But wires are fucking frightening!!!!

And look at it this way - the car committed suicide to save you.

8. I owe my life to that car,The Chrysler Safety Engineering Team and all the Union Workers,

That had anything to do with Designing,Engineering or Assembling that Car.

Thank You.

Felt like I was living through it just by reading your post! I am so very glad also that you are here!

I've never had a bad accident, I've stopped along the highway a few times to assist when I've seen em though. Horrible things, they can be.

Take care - and :toast: for being here.
