Trauma T1571 (Stygg kræsj i mx5)

For a short time yesterday I did not have a name; I was Trauma T1571 at the Cumberland Memorial Hospital in Cumberland, Maryland. Before that, I was flown by helicopter off of Highway 68 Westbound. Before that, I was strapped to a backboard and given an IV. Before that, I was cut out of a car with giant pneumatic pincers. Before that, I had a man holding me immobile and shielding my face and legs from the tools the firemen were using to extract me. Before that, a bystander reached his hand through the smashed window just to hold mine and speak with me. Before that I was in the worst car accident I can imagine. By all apparent rights, I should not be typing this right now.

This past week I was at the BuildaBridge Institute in Philadelphia (which was superb, by the wayâ€”amazing people and conversations). Yesterday afternoon I drove back from Philly to Morgantown, West Virginia where my parents liveâ€¦or at least that is what I was attempting to do. Somewhere east of Cumberland, MD, I was going down a grade (there is a long hill there that trucks tend to barrel through). My cruse control was on; I was just going along in the right hand lane (which, for my friends in the UK, remember to switch thisâ€¦I was in the â€œslowâ€

Oh my god! som de sier der borte...

Når man først havna under var det altså en fordel å være så liten... Kanskje jeg skal vurdere senk allikevel...

Samme fargen som jeg hadde på min forrige MX-5. Men jeg havna aldri under en trailer heldigvis. Denne mannen hadde griseflaks, rart at han ikke fikk hodeskader siden det ikke var rare klaringen mellom undersiden av hengeren og bilen.

Heldigvis inneholdt ikke historien alt for mye religiøst babbel

Spørsmålet er om han hadde havnet under i en annen og større bil.
Kan vel være mulighet for at han da hadde blitt dyttet vekk istedet for å bli dratt under.

nope: Var det jeg også stussa på, hadde det vært en større bil så hadde han aldri havna under hengeren og ville sannsynligvis blitt skjøvet ut i grøfta. Men selvfølgelig det i seg selv kunne ha vært fatalt.

Ikke lett å si, En litt høyere personbil ville kanskje fått skrelt av taket? Utrolig det gikk så bra med han.

God sommer, kjør forsiktig
