Default *Wrecked My 2007 tC*

Date: Tuesday, December 5th
Crash Site: Off of 94 after merge from 290.
Time: 12:15am
Car: BSP 2007 Auto Tc

Well, i was headed home from work around 12:06am, i was feeling a bit tired and i kept falling in and out of sleep as i was driving. Yes, i was speeding i was going about 80-100mph, i really don't remember exactly how fast i was going. I was headed home, from downtown Chicago, Clark and Fullerton to be exact, to Lincolnwood. I hopped onto 290 headed towards Milwaukee, about 3-5 minutes i reached the split, i took the 94 Milwaukee exit. I was in the far left lane, as soon as the bend came from the express lane merge i lost control. My car skidded and it veered left into the center median within time i managed to control it enough to miss the center median/divider and i turned the steering wheel towards the right. From a person who saved my life, he told me as soon as i missed the median and i veered right he had recalled that i was on my right 2 wheels headed towards the hill over the shoulder lane. He said i hit the hill front end first flipped and rolled about 2x and ended up, upside down back on the highway. I was wearing my seatbelt, luckily i walked away with 4 stitches on my right arm and a really contused left eye. It all happened so quickly, i was in and out within 2minutes from the scene of the accident to my trip to the hospital. I never lost consciousness. I was pulled out of the car by a man who was headed home to Libertyville IL, from a party he said i was lucky to be alive. The hospital bill came in yesterday with a whopping $27,351 debt. Amazing? eh


Pics from the Junkyard which was declared totaled yesterday.
















Sigh what do you guys think?...

You are an A$$! You are driving 80-100 and you already knew you were in no condition to drive. You are so lucky I didn't see this. You know how many innocent lives you risked because of your idiotic selfishness?

No sympathy for you.....plain and simple you are a punk.

I am just waiting for the day insurance on Scions go through the roof as so many people are wrecking these being ignorant.

To those of you who have wrecked them and you weren't at fault...disregard the comment.

haha. i wanted them. oh well... i could have helped you out a little but my offer wouldn't dent that 50,000

it's good you're alive. but your retarded when you get in that car. your putting your life and other peoples lives in danger. weather it's a old man. or a new family with a baby on board. you sir are a idiot. sleeping and speeding at the same time. next time pull over. i hope you are paranoid to be in a car and won't drive for years.... and never take a road trip to pa. and i dont know what's going on.. but if your insured... insurance should have most of that 50000 covered.... if not...

i think your number is exaggerated. because my number came out alot less for glass removal, ambulance, mri, xrays, cat scans, er, etc... etc...

it was like a 2000 deductible. but even the insurance company covered that... i didnt fall asleep i got tboned by some pot head. speeding down a back road. if anything... they must have given me a christmas special discount to go from 50000 to 2000

so don't try to win a pity part... or think that we're gonna volunteerily raise 20000 for you to get a new car. or another 50000 for your medical bills. it was your own damn fault.
