OMG...

I am glad that you are ok...all in all. Wow....I ummmmm....clearly the car is a total loss. Geez what happened.

I have to say....I love civics and will always own one....I had a really bad accident and came out fairly unscaved in a civic. A dodge truck hit me while I was stopped at about 45 mph. Car totalled ....me ok! They do their job keeping ppl safe!!

We're wishing you a speedy recovery.

damn.

So...what's the story?

[dmaricle]

the story is..... i work up early for work and it was flooding outside. so i left early so i could take my time. i was on ther interstate, i was going around 65the car just started fish tailing and spun out and went down about a 200 foot imbankment and flipped off in about a 6 foot deep canal partially filled with water. i was stunned for a min and then i call 911 and then my wife. i climbed up and out the top of the car (it was on its side) walked up the hill it was still dark and raining and i tryed to flag down someone to help and no one would stop it took about 45 min for help to get there. i was bleed from my ear and i was freaking cause i just knew i had a bad head injury and in one pictures you can see the blood comin out of my ear. i am so lucky and it was just a busted ear drum. but i am so happy to get to see my family.

[BPelizabeth]

You are lucky that you are alive!!

[Lolo76]

Wow... thank your lucky stars, for sure!! I guess somebody was watching out for you today.

Scary stuff. Glad you and your wife are safe! That feeling of losing control of a car is just horrible, time moves so slow for a few seconds as it hits you (been there).

Wishing you a speedy recovery and cliche as it sounds be grateful to be alive regardless of the other stuff (not that it diminishes any of your injuries or your upcoming recovery), as you can take that one day at a time... being that you have days left.

Will be hoping for the best for you both.
