Totaled the Z today

So, I was heading to go eat lunch with my wife and then planned on watching my son's soccer game. Anyway, I 'm not sure what happened exactly, but a truck in the opposite traffic ended up in my lane, got sideways, and I hit him in the drivers door. His truck ended up bursting into flames, followed by my car going up in flames while I was still inside. Luckily, I was able to force my driver's door open and drug myself away from the car. My injuries are only a broken right lower leg. The ortho docs took me into surgery to wash out the break, then I head back into the surgery on Sunday for the bionic conversion with rods and plates.

Unfortunately, both occupants of the truck died at the scene. I my wife take pictures to keep her distracted. It happened around 2:30pm on Friday, and it's now 3am Saturday morning in the hospital.

Please bear with me for any spelling / grammatical errors. Morphine jacks with her brain.

The car only had about 17K miles on it, so it must've just been the picture.

Luckily I knew every paramedic and cop on the scene. My full time job is as a flight nurse on a helicopter and work part time in the ER at the hospital they brought me to. Needless to say, everyone's been pretty awesome here, but man that leg still hurts.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I don't post much, but I check the forum religiously every day, usually 2 or 3 times a day.

It just really sad to see my favorite car ever meet such an early demise.

Good luck with everything. Perhaps you can get a sport pkg now?

Holy ****! That is crazy. Glad to hear you are mostly alright. Sucks for the people in the other vehicle.

NCSUPACK09 02-19-2011 06:49 AM

Holy crap! Those pictures are crazy. Its very unfortunate what happened to the passengers in the truck, but at least you are OK.

Skeeterbop 02-19-2011 06:51 AM

Sucks that the people in the other vehicle died, but it's good to hear that you survived. Get well soon.
