It's great to hear you're okay after that wreck. At least we all know the xA is a pretty safe car if you only had 1 scratch.

If you ended up on your lid, that must mean that you nearly missed the Yuck-on.

I can't believe you flipped a Yukon. Sorry about the loss of life. That's crazy. Seatbelts are a good thing, no matter the size of your ride.

Glad to hear you're OK.

I'm so sorry to hear about the death - my first reaction when I saw this thread was that if you were posting it everybody was in more or less good condition. Don't blame yourself - it was an accident and accidents happen. I'm not a religious man myself - actually not religious at all, but I can believe that God had something planned for that young man - something planned for him by His side.

Sooo sorry about your accident, and thankful you could walk away from it! I was injured in a car accident 6 years ago and it certainly makes one realize how fragile and precious life is! Again, I'm glad you are OK! Let us hear from you when you feel up to it.

Wow, sorry to hear that someone died, very good reason to wear your seatbelts, its scary when you see someone struggling down the road in the right hand lane when they should be off on the shoulder.

if i would have pulled the wheel a little more to the left, by about 3 to 4 feet, everyone would still be alive and ok.

If that person had been wearing a seat belt like the law says, they'd most likely be just fine, so you can't blame yourself for that... not to mention the fact that they were probably driving below the minimum speed for that highway if they were going 30.

Glad to hear you are ok. Sorry to hear about the loss of life.
Just an FYI though, since it did involve a fatality you may want to remove much of the details in your post. From you description you rear ended someone hence you may potentially be involved in a wrongful death lawsuit. Your post is pretty close to an admission of fault and will hurt you in such an instance.

If you want to have sex, buckle up. Good thing you wore your seat belts unlike that guy Julian.
