    well hey guys...just felt like letting the gang know that i got in a really bad car accident today. I was driving with 3 friends in the car, a group of my friends comes blazing by so i decide to try and catch up. goin about 90 (i will NEVER speed again!!!!!) we enter a turn on the highway and i start to pass him. for some reason he started to move into my lane, the front passenger starts to yell so i look over and hes REALLY close to hitting me. so, like a complete idiot, i jerk the wheel to the left forgetting how wast i was goin and lost control.

    i got it to come back a bit but i was goin WAAAY to fast to regain control and it started a super-duper-power slide and we slid into the grass goin about 80. as soon as we hit the grass it flew up in the air, landed on the roof, up in the air again, back down, up, then down and landed on the wheels about 300 yards from where we started sliding.

    I really dunno what happened next but i got out of the car somehow, walked around, my friend was standing out there bleeding from her face, and we looked into the back of the car where the other 2 people were. the trunk had COMPLETELY flattened and pinned them up against the front seats. the firemen had to cut them outta the car.

    Somehow all i came away with was a crap load of cuts, a badly sprained ankle and a jammed thumb. one girl broke a few ribs, the other one just got banged up, nothing serious. the other guy who was in the back broke his neck but wasnt paralyzed thank god. everyone is gonna be OK in te long run, its truly a miracle that any of us are alive. when i get pics of the car ill show u how lucky we are.

    also, PLEASE pray for the friend with the broken neck, he's gotta stay in the hospital for a few days and wear a "halo" neck brace for 3 months after that...

    Hope he stays your friend.

    Glad to hear everyone is going to be OK, but now for the hammer:

    Driving stupid kills people.

    Glad you guys are ok (relatively), though.

    Holy. What a tough way to learn a lesson. Glad you guys came through it. I don't think your buddy needs the prayers, someone was looking out for you guys.

    Well, glad to hear everyone is alive. Hope you all heal up as fast as possible.

    Like Adryn said, stupid driving kills. A lot of young people think it will never happen to them - until it does.

    Make sure there isn't a next time. I'm sure you don't want to be going to anyone's funeral, or even your own.
