+warning some disturbing crash stories+
i remember reading this a whilleeeee ago. this same thing happened to a friends of mine who unfortunatley are no longer with us. earlier this summer a kid who used to play football on my team (graduated a year before) got into a high-speed accident in the left lane. he was driving fast behind a large suv, but the suv suddenly moved out of the way and right there was a disabled vehicle, who my friend billy then smashed into probably going around 100...in a shitty old outback. he lived but was put into a coma...then unfortunately passed away. we all tried to raise money more for his family because he was put into the rutgers hostpital i believe, which his family had to rent a hotel room near in order to visit him and such. but yea it's kind of sad.
speaking of accidents i never said what happened the other day....I was with 2 friends cruising on 15 (by my college in selinsgrove, PA) and we saw this yellow mustang kind of drifting back and forth (not drifitng drifting like sideways drifting, but like drifitng when you like move back and forth and stuff) obviously they were drunk. So me, having seen worse accidents (one of my "car guy friends") and have seeing a drunk driver crash in the past, i told my friend to follow the mustang, sincce we had ntoihign to do anyways ( 2 a.m.---we were looking for the walmart in harrisburg) o anyway, the mustnag pseeds to to 60ish, still kinda drifting, then suddenly gets off an exit--it makes the offramp fine, then comes to a T intersection, blows thru the stopsign turning right, loses control and smashes into one of the cement supports of the road we just got off of. if there was a passsenger they would have been killed, the front bumper on that side was up to the back of the wheelwell. the driver, a drunk woman, broke her right arm but was alive. One of my friends ran ove rto check ehr condition because he was volunteer FD in his town, he saw she was alive enough to be screamig in pain (we had already called 911) but we didnt know/want to do anything because especially by me, if you help and somehting happens, you get blamed. so we waited for the police ot arrive. first came a volunteer FD, then ambulance, then fireturck............then the police 9apparently caugth up at a dunkin donuts). so anyway, we KIND OF saved her life in the fact that we called the cops and stuff, and blocked off the road (which wasnt busy anyways) it wasnt that bad for me, since i've seen worse....but my friends were freaked out. no pic, sorry 0_o
i guess since we're telling stories ill tell some more.
my friend owned a modded lancer....(like fast and the furious 2) and apprently, as i presumed, he liked the movie. so he decided to try the 180-drive backwards-180 drive forwards move fomr the movie....going around 40. mid 180 the car flipped. he survived.
another story--my friend driving his dad's s6 with 3 other friends rushing to get to a soccer tournament (they missed the bus) almost missed the exit, cut across 4 lanes, hit the curb and flipped the s6 3 times (my firned guessed 3) and stopped in a ditch ont he roof. they had to kick out the back windshioeld to get out, everyone was okay.
another--my friend drove his eclipse into a telephone pole.....
another- my friend had a jasper bike or something.. i forgot what those bikes are called. the really fast ones....anyways. ( you probably already know what happened) yeah, high speed crash he survived. i think he punctured a lung, broke 4 ribs, his arm, foot and wrist. he's alive, but is stuck whipping around the mommy's 2000 land rover.
there was another i know which i think was just as bad as this one if i remember--out on long island in commack or the town over or somehting--a couple high school kids were drunk and split the car in half or somehting but i think one kid survived.
another that my roomate was telling me about was his friends trying to get a girl home for curfew at 1 am were speeding and we hit by an oncoming car who jumped the median. the car was tboned and anded up spinning into antoher car. unfortunaely all of the people inside died immediately expect one (gross) who was severed partially in half and was sistting there screaming in pain until around 5 minutes before the ambulance showed up (according to the occupants of the 3rd car that was hit, where everyoine was okay). disturbing.
there's more stories of people i know, but i wont bore/disturb/gross you guys any longer.
things like this just happen, all you have to do is if you speed, be smart about it. dont drive drunk, do what i do and try to stay in front so there is nobody to hit, be smart about weaving through lanes. stay away from people who look drunk because (another story) they might sideswipe you....
but yeah...be smart,m especially with 3 people int he car. i know for me, i drive alot faster and dangerously (but im in full controll) when i am alone compared towhen i have people in the car. i shouldnt put thier lives in danger. i may be only 17 and you guys might consider me young and ignorant, but i think i am mature to a point.
