OK I've told the story about my car but ill refresh this happnd 07-20-08 @ 2230
04 impala SS was on the was to work in uniform " its important" driving down the road and saw i was going 75 + so i slowed down not sure how far but i let off then a lil down the road taking turns slower than i could but faster then the speed limit and hit a small strait away and not really paying attention to the road just were i was going and saw what looked like trash on the other lane. got about 10 feet from the trash and it moves since i wasn't pay good attention it startled me and i swerved passenger tires only went about 1' into the grass but enough to lose controle car goes sideways and i was oh shoot here we go. wasn't bucked in to i let go of the steering wheel and talked to God. i feel the car go off road and i think I'm only in a field, then car feels like it flips as I'm thrown from my seat half way out the sun roof fell grass on the side of my face and end up in the passenger seat so i try to get out of the passengers door to no effect so i climb out the drivers side a ford truck passes as I'm climbing out and doesn't even stop. there was a house about 100 yds up so i go to his house and as I'm walking up the road i feel pain on my arm and i look at it i have about a 6" of skin just hanging due to the sun roof and my ear is cut in half only hanging on by about 1/4' of skin well to sum it up, i go to the hospital were i realize cause of my stupidity i could of died i usually were my seat belt but wait till i get on the main road b4 i put it on i was about 2 miles from the main road ended up with a cracked rib. put me out of work for a month since i work at a prison i didn't want to go back not 100% and i didn't want to go on light duty. giego paid the car off and + 2000. they said i selected special option "k" witch means I'm screwed in health insurance i was on my own my heath insurance from the state said that giego was responsible for the heath car not them so they cant help but the thing that saved me was i was in uniform so my heath insurance did end up picking it up. now the pics

ended up going into a irrigation ditch that saved me from rolling think go had allot to do with what i hit had pictures of the ditch and my arm and ear but the cell phone just craped out ended up hitting a 90 degree in the ditch that stooped the car if it was a reg ditch it would of rolled and me being out the sun roof would of been crushed

Dang that's ugly, glad your still here. That's looks pretty close to what happened to me and my old '87; i know the feelin and it sucks to say the least. That's good the car and the mediacal are taken care of.
