Default Another Ej1 Down.... :(

Well it happened May 11th. 2 Friday's ago. i was coming home around 11:20pm on a two way road, when i saw two pairs of headlights on the other lane going the opposite way. approaching a 20 degree turn i finally saw that one of the cars was in my lane trying to pass the other car. so i knew it wasnt going to make it so i swerved to the grass avoiding him and did. so came back on to the road and when i did my car did catch on to the road well and slid about 40 feet into a guardrail and into a ditch. no cars stopped...i was pretty much screwed...i crawled out of the car no feeling my legs and called 911 and my dad. i went to the hospital(took forever for the ambulance to get to the scene) almost lost conciseness. i didnt brake any bones just suffered real bad swelling on both legs and i gash on my left leg. im on cruches now. but im still here. thank god. well.....time for a new project.








in all it's glory.

Dude, im so sorry. That totally sucks that the guy didnt stop. I always hated roads like that for possibly reasons like this. Always scary to pass someone like that incase of this. Atleast your still alive and have your legs. Do you remember the car that was in your lane?

Yeah, I'm 18 too, It would cost me $350 a month for full coverage with a clean record.

Sorry about that.

As much of an ******* as it may sound that I am - it's an accident due to inexperienced driving .

Hit whatever's in the road - don't try to swerve, swerving is what kills more pple than car to car injuries.

Also, when ur off the road, NEVER try to get back on, because of that reason why you crashed, the tire can catch and if it "pops" up over the top of the asphalt it WILL put you into a slide - so if u ever find urself off the road BRAKE and come to a stop or a 10mph roll off the road b4 you turn back on.

Same thing happened to me in my eclipse minus the car passing car situation. Whenever u got a tire off the road brake to a full or almost full stop b4 trying to get back on the road, don't try to get it back on at that speed or it'll pop up .

Anywayz, sorry to hear, glad ur alright.

Wow that was a bad accident, were you alone because if someone had been in the passenger side that would have been bad news. The car can be replaced glad your are ok though.
