Seen Photos From My Car Crash


I just didn't realise quite how bad it was! I mean I knew that half of the front had gone but just to see it now brings it all back I know now what the guy at the garage meant when he said that he couldn't believe he was able to talk to the driver of that car - I lost my nan just a couple of months prior to my accident - I really think she must have been looking over me that day!

Re: Seen Photos From My Car Crash


Good Lord - that's very frightening You are lucky that today's cars have many safety features . . . I remember seeing a friend's car that she'd rolled on a muddy road and wondering how she ever got out alive.

Thing is, you don't realise quite how bad it is when it's actually happening. I'm pleased you're OK though.

Re: Seen Photos From My Car Crash


Just looking at the actual photos and you can actually see the blood on the airbag from my face

I just feel so lucky to be here now! I have to say since my accident I seem to be living my life a lot more, although I do have a disability at the moment, I'm making the most of each day so much more than I was before. I was taking things for granted, and I think after an experience like that it makes you realise how quickly things could be taken away.

Re: Seen Photos From My Car Crash


omg - thank goodness you are alright.
It's amazing how people get out of those yet others, where the car is hardly scratched, are fatal. My OH lost a young friend who simply misjudged and hit a tree, shifting cars around in a service road. No great speed but he was doing it in a hurry, no seat belt (only a few seconds job ), and - broken neck and instant goodbye There wasn't a mark on the car.
You're obviously meant to be here Amber. Good!
