The truck was probably full of raw materials for making meth and the drivers probably stoned. very exposive. Glad you survived.

Condolences to the families of the deceased. OP I'm glad you made it out safe with no permanent disabilities. My prayers for a speedy recovery.

I know that there is no conclusive evidence on the reasons behind the truck driver losing control, but is there a possibility the driver was looking down at something like a phone and not seeing you until it was too late?

oh no :(

wow...damn!

glad you're ok, sucks people died. BUT, having pins isn't that bad. The worst part is having your leg shrink while it's in a cast, once that comes off looks like you stole someone else's leg lol

Sundown after seeing the pics, glad to see your OK and alive. I know u said things happened really quick, did ur Z go up in flames immediately or did u have a few minutes to get out of the Z and get to safety? im looking at the pics and just am curious, sorry if its to soon to ask. Hope your leg/ankle gets better

Wow! That is definitely a freak accident. Glad to see that you're ok, wish you a speedy recovery.

glad you and youre wife is okay. Your son mustve been terrified. Hope you get well soon and back here on the forum with your new 370z!

Sorry to hear about the terrible accident. I have a plate & 7 screws in my ankle from a skiing accident in 2006. They're in there for good (unless I have some complications later)... Let me just tell you that you will be itching to drive so bad and it sucks not being able to drive. I attempted driving and even with an auto it's damn near impossible and dangerous because you cant really flex your ankle and you kinda just stomp on the gas. At least you can shop for a new ride while you're laid up.

best of luck on your recovery

ouch

wow

Sad to hear about the loss of the young ones in the truck. Glad you made it out and will be able to replace what you've lost. Get well soon!

It is definitely odd to see how the truck served into your lane even with a median.

holy s#!t - glad you are ok

Definitely not too soon to ask. I think discussing the accident is part of the healing process. Fair warning, though, I just got a shot of dilaudid for pain, so my spelling and gramar may be jacked up.

Anyway, it was just a matter of seconds before the flames started. It went like this : Impact, brief mental check of my own injuries (deep breathes, wiggle fingers and toes, etc), then waited for the airbag smoke to clear. Once the smoke cleared, I saw the flames come up. It was actually his truck that ignited first, not the car. My nose broke his driveshaft, which tore the fuel lines, and ruptured the gas tank.

Update on me: I had my first round of rehab today, which I can honestly say SUCKS!!!. Rehab sucks donkey nuts, actually. It's hard to believe how much just walking hurts. And they saw it'll be 8-12 weeks of this crap. Oh well, the pain reminds me that I'm alive, I guess. Here's a picture of my boot I'll be in for a while.

They still plan on discharging me tomorrow with outpatient rehab follow up. I'll check back in with you guys later.
