Car Accident, Appreciate Your Prayers
I was headed to a Doc app. Turned onto the highway was going 30 mph and WHAM...... a lady hit me in the back of my truck. All I saw was white in my mirror. She and the Sheriff said she was going 50 to 60 mph. I saw she was looking down and did not hit the brake.
The back is hurt badly, the box is sagging down about 4". Don't know if the frame is bent yet. She was nice and said she'll pay for everything. I called my insurance company and hers. I took several pics of the truck showing the damage. Was hit so hard that the force knocked my rear view mirror off windshield. Have never felt such a impac on the street.
I'm very,..surprised there isn't more damage with her speed. So glad,.....I wear seatbelts ! She's ok, but hit her forehead on the steering wheel, but thankfully she is ok.
The Xray showed legiment tear's around the fused area where I had broken my neck some years ago. around #6 & #7. Have vertebrae cervical sprain and discharge in struction. Have ligament tear's in my right shoulder and tear of two rotator cuffs. Meaning,......painful crap. Could have been worse for both of us.
I have a I haven't been able to check it out, but I'm sure it will be totaled. Only 72,000 miles on it. Just depends on how much of the frame and bed are damaged.
I still hurt head to toe especially my neck, right upper back and right shoulder. I start physical therapy next Monday.
I broke my neck years ago, so I three vert fused.
What a 56th birthday ! Lol......
