Ok Brad...

How'd it happen? Were you wearing your crash helmet? Seatbelt?

Were you driving? Anyone else in the car??

Level with us.. It was the squirrels, right?

here's some more pics. I was the passenger in this wreck. Riding with a friend down a nice windy road. He lost it and the van did a U and went into the tree. We were doing somewhere around 70...Lady who saw it though we were a four wheeler.

I had my seat belt on, just came out from underneath it when my seat broke in half. The driver was bruised up from where I landed on top of him.

chipmunks would never cause something like this to happen...

on a serious note, its a good thing youre alright. That crash looks like somethin that most people dont live through

Yeh i almost didn't. Blood pressure was 40/0 when they got me in the ambulance. I was airlifted to the big hospital in the state here. I don't remember anything from that day till about a week afterwards. The only thing I remember is my dad said I didn't owe any more money on my car

. So it turned out ok in the end. Me and the driver are still really good friends, I'm not mad at him or anything, it's all good

mm well man i am glad your ok, as i looked at the pic i have to ask did they "cut" you out or could you get out on the driver side, and with a BP of 40/0 u are in (dare i say it.. GODs hands) but glad your ok, and i have seen less of a crash that people died and this one was bad. :|

THAT is how it happened

you are one lucky SOB

lowflyn · 11-04-2003, 03:37 PM

Fishers Stang, They didn't have to cut me out thank god. The van turned itself back around facing the road as you can see from the pictures, basically a 360 gone wrong. I've grown up around the fire dept and rescue and now am on it myself. I know what you mean by cuttin out, I've done my fair share of it.
And yeh I know I'm lucky, that's the only way I made it through. I was in God's hands and am not scared to say it. I need to get the pic of me and the driver at the van about 4 months later when i was on crutches and out of the wheelchair a little bit. I need to find it...
But thanks guys, figured some of you could appreciate this.

I just found this picture of it in the junkyard. Looks really bad from this angle IMO

fast64 · 11-04-2003, 10:25 PM

man, that picture is scary

lowflyn · 11-04-2003, 10:28 PM

Yeh I know. That's why I posted it

lowflyn · **Re: Wreck Pics**

Well...coming up on 5 years so I figured I'd bring this back up. Still can't believe I lived through this...

**meteorachick** · **Re: Wreck Pics**

i'm just speechless every time i see those pictures...

sonic04edge · **Re: Wreck Pics**

Damn dude thats crazy.

lowflyn · **Re: Wreck Pics**

For those that don't know, I was the passenger in that wreck. 70 mph versus tree backwards. I remember 2 things from earlier in that day, but for a week before and 2 weeks after I remember nothing short of going by the junkyard that morning and eating lunch at a mexican restaurant for lunch.
