thank you all. i too belive i had some form of higher being looking out for me. in my mothers opinion (and a small part mine) my father saved me on that horrible night. he died 2 months before from a massive heart attack. either way someone was watching over me... the wrecking yard didnt call my house because they thought i was dead. (lots of blood, especially on roof) and they didnt want to be inconsiderate
i actuallt fell asleep behind the wheel while driving home from a friends house i had the cruise cotrol set and nodded off. i hit a power pole at 60 mph (damage to drivers side in front of the wheel, you can see how the car wraped around it). i didnt hit it square so i didnt absoreb all of the impact. the car hit it at anagleand the back end actually accelerated around the pole. the drivers rear tire dug in. the car actually stood up straight on the back bumper (look at the mud on bumper and how the exuast is packed with mud and bent down and away) it landed on the passenger roof/ side which is why it is so crushed down and almost shifted to the drivers side. and then it rolled down the hwy and for a time was drug back ward which is why the passenger rear door was peeled back. it somehow ended up on it wheels and i was able to get out of the car. which is crazy considering the door opened but when i tried to close it there was almost 4 inches of overlap....
i truly walked away from the crash it happened at 3 am on a 2 lane country road about 2 miles from my house. i stayed with the car for about 10 min but then decided i couldnt wait (as no cars passed even up to that point). so i began to walk home. i got about 1/2 home (15 min later) when a car passed and picked me up. they took me home and called the cops. the cops wanted to write me a ticket for leaving the scene of the accident. i explained my reason and he let me go with a warning. the total bill for the light pole (power pole) was $6798.53. and it totaled my car out.
i was dumb at the time and didnt go right to the hospital (even at the cops insistence) i actually stayed home, the adrenelane made me feel little to no pain. 1 of my friends came to see me the next day and took me to the emergency room... i could barely move. it was like i got into the ring with tyson and called him a pansy. i had a mild concussion, broke my nose from just above my eye socket to just above my jaw (non-displaced). all they could do was give me pain pills and time for that. i also had to have 8 staples in the back of my head where it contacted the b piller and put a 4 inch gash and i recieved a cut on the left side of my face directly under my side burn at the jaw line. this required 15 stiches and the skin was flapped back with the fat layer so you could see my jaw bone/muscle. it actually cut the parotid glad (saliva) and my face leaked saliva when ever i ate for almost a month, it finally healed. those were the major injuries, other the scrapes and bruises. your can actually see a cut on the right side of my nose, thats where the break was as well. my upper thighs/lower body from my knees to my belly botton was a big black, non stop bruise. also my left arm and chest later bruised up as well. it hurt to breath for a couple of days...
as of now im much better.... i no longer drive tired and if i have to (trip to nc) if i feel myself getting close to the edge i stop and pull over... id recommend the same to all of you. other then a few injuries (upper thigh damage) i am fully healed. i have wonderful scares to constantly remind me of what happened. ive been told they add character to my face.
if you all want more pictures i would be willing to share them, i have 16 more pics of the damage, i pulled out the best ones already. either way let me know. i have a couple of the inside too...
