i guess i’ll be the first to post and excuse me if i’m not at lucid as i wish to be but i’m on vicadin.

at approx. 2:00 am on Monday morning me, james, dan, john, waylan travelling at 107 mph (that is what we overheard the cops say) first hit the center divider, then rolled for what felt like forever 50 feet away from the road and ended up upside down in the cold night.

it took forever to find the seat belt buckle but i was able to crawl out after falling to the ground, but james and dan were stuck there. i was dazed in the dirt, and i reached into my pocket to find my cell phone but it was covered in blood so i couldn’t call 911. somehow we heard voices and the two-way radio going off and men telling us to sit down so we realzed the police were here and they told us to calm down.

everyone was basically hurt really bad, and we were all shivering because it was really cold and we were all shocked. james was finally able to free himself but his hand was really messed up. we all noticed it at the same time– we could see to his bone. i had little bits of glass stuck to my face and i was bleeding pretty badly but for the most part i was (am) okay. after about 10-20 minutes, dan finally unbukcled himself and we all cringed as we heard the thud and he landed on the ground. but we were all relieved because he wasn’t paralyzed. he crawled out the window and then collapsed onto the ground. we found out later he broke his collerbone.

from there the people who were really bad, john, james, and dan were moved separately than us.. me and waylan and james was put into one ambulance and we drove for a little bit, and then they dropped off james to be helicoptered to a different hospital because his hand looked really bad.

me and waylan finally got to the hospital in 30-40 minutes and we were all worried. i was separated from waylan and they stiched my left hand twice and my right side of my head because it was bleedding pretty profusely.

we’re very lucky to be alive. i’m glad i’m alive. a lot of different nurses said that we must have had someone watching over us.

thanks to the one man who came at the same time the police did and helped us a lot more with kind words than the police who just yelled at us to be quiet. he gave us stuff to hold our blood inside our bodies and calmed us down and warmed us up with blankets and towels.

thanks to whatever omniscient entity that was watching over us. thanks to everyone for there words.
