Alundra Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 A few days ago, I talked about going to Philly with my girlfriend and some of our friends, and for the most part, this came true, but I never expected to come within 6 inches of losing my life and the lives of my good friends. Let's back up to December 31, I was doing various beer runs for my friends before we left the state, and everything was going great. Katie (my girlfriend, if you haven't listened to me over the past few weeks) was with her friend picking out something to wear and I made a run to the mall to get something good. I pick up my friend Josh and my friend Rob arrives, and we wait on the girls and our mutual friend Ricki (he brought me and Katie together), and we finally get out of the house already started having a good time in the street. It starts to rain in the road on the way, but it subsides, and we get to Penn Landing and watch the fireworks and have that fancy-pants New Years kiss under the explosions, everything is going great; we tried to leave early since we had Vodka, Cuervo Tequila, Jack Daniels, Malibu and a shit load of Coca Cola and salt waiting for us. Katie gets into her car with her friend Cait and Ricki, and I get into mine with Josh and Rob. The rain started to pour when we came off of South Street and onto 1-95, and I get a little nervous because this weather could only facilitate a situation that I was about to experience. We were going down I-95 in the pouring rain for 45 minutes, everyone besides the driver,s, me and Katie, were asleep in the cars recharging for the party ahead. We change into the left lane and it appears, a black Nissan Altima heading horizontally pops out in front of me clipping the van beside me, and I charge into it at around 60MPH right into the drivers side door There was white, time stopped and a light shone in the car, I went completely deaf as we went into a violent spin, I couldn't control my body, my mind told me that the light I was seeing was my impending death, I though I had been impaled by something and I was losing blood so rapidly that I was going into a state of hysteria prior to dying. I felt as if I was moving in slow motion, everything became a blur and then everything went black. I woke up already outside of my car lying on the guardrail, still deaf and detatched. My hearing came back as smoke cleared and I hear someone screaming, "I'm dying, I"m dying!!" I look inside my car and there is smoke everywhere, my friend Josh delerious and screaming, "I'm on fire! Help, I'm on fire!". I blacked out again, Josh tells me I went into the car and lifted him out from the drivers side and outside, me, a 170 lb. guy lifted a 200 lb tough kid like it was nothing. I walk in a daze to the other car, a girl was lying on the side of the road screaming, "Help me! Help me!", the driver on the car lying motionless, my thoughts went blank after thinking she was dead. I blacked out once again and found myself in the arms of my friend Ricki, who tells me I was walking down the highway with a blank stare, Katie came shortly after and I had hugged her as if I was about to go off into a suicide mision, the embrace was unlike anything I had experienced before. I then looked over as all the cops came, people looking, screaming, crying, 30 people were running around like the apocalypse was coming, and I stood there in the middle of it completely out of my mind. The paramedics came up to me and tried to talking to me, but I wasn't there, one of them had to grab me and scream at me to snap me back, then I realized I was hurt. My leg had some trauma and I fell to one knee and realized that I might have been walking on a fracture. My friend helped me get into the ambulance as I watched one of the girls get carried away on a stretcher completely silent, the other being pried out of her car with the jaws of life, her mother looking directly at me as if any of this was my fault, that look will stay with me for the rest of my life. More to come in a minute........ Link to comment
thebornotaku Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 holy fucking shit What he said and more. I know you haven't finished writing yet (or rather, I only read your first post so far because there wasn't another), and yeah, holy shit. At least you're still alive, despite the fact that you're injured. Link to comment
Alundra Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 We arrive at the hospital and we are completely detached from reality, I was given a piece of paper to fill out and asked to "wait" as I had searing pain in my leg, I started to argue with the nurse about getting treatment and eventually my friend settled me down because my adrenaline levels were through the roof at that point. My friend Josh was just sitting there holding his injured shoulder, we all said nothing until Katie and co. came to us and we just both cried in the E.R, I'm man enough to admit that I cried. We waited fro hours for treatment, I didn't get looked at until 4:15AM, recieved an X-Ray and was diagnosed with Hemotoma, which is basically alot of blood in one spot. A state trooper came in and questioned me, and told me that I was not at fault in any way. I asked him about the other drivers and he told me that a girl in the car I hit was ejected, which was why I only saw 3 on the ground instead of 4.....I asked him if she had died and he said he couldn't answer that question, guilt filled my being and I broke down, I thought I had killed someone. I left the room in shambles. Katie took me to her house and we spent the night at her house, then she came to my place and spent the next night with me, where I am told I was screaming, "I see blood!" while awake last night, even though I don't recall it. More to come.... Link to comment
The Masterplan Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 YO MOTHERFUCKER WHY DID YOU NOT CALL ME AND TELL ME THIS SHIT!? Thank Christ you're alright man that is completely and utterly shocking and amazing. I expect that shit when we do fucking u-turns on grass medians on the highway at 60-65 MPH, but shit man...unbelievable. I'm gonna call your ass. Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 i've seen accidents not half as bad as that, and almost everyone died. You guys are fucking lucky! Link to comment
Alundra Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Basically what happened is that some hot-shot 21 one year old piece of FUCKING SHIT driving a new Lexus cut off a van, which hit the Altima, which went into a spin and was headed towards the guardrail and was hit dead-on by my at around 55-60MPH. The Lexus driver was at the scene dong nothing, he lit up a cigarette near my running car, which was totalled, and someone ran at him and took the cigarette out of his mouth and cursed him out. I looked at him and didn't know who he was, but now I know..... I am most likely going to go visit the girl who was extracted from the car because I thought she had died, just so I can get some closure on the matter. But not before I kill the motherfucker in the Lexus. Link to comment
John Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yo, I'll fucking drive up from Delaware and fucking bitch slap that fools ass with you. Just let me know. Holy shit man. I'm glad you're alright and I'm glad everyone else is good too. Link to comment

Svenska Aeroplan Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 o_O Good to know you're ok. Other than apparently well engineered, what kind of car were you driving? Link to comment
Adam Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 holy fucking shit that and I'm glad you're okay. Link to comment
Alundra Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 o_O Good to know you're ok. Other than apparently well engineered, what kind of car were you driving? A 97 Nissan Sentra. I hated it because it was a "safe car" but now I thank God that I wasn't driving the 5.0 Mustang I was gearing to buy because we would have all been dead since the frame would have crushed differently.

Adam Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 this topics makes me scared that in 4 years I can drive alone... Link to comment

But not before I kill the motherfucker in the Lexus. Well, I really hope that the girl is still alive (so that your mind can be in peace, mainly, but also for her sake), and that you really do get the motherfucker that almost took your life and the life of other people. No one person deserves to live if they put others at stake. A 97 Nissan Sentra. I hated it because it was a "safe car" but now I thank God that I wasn't driving the 5.0 Mustang I was gearing to buy because we would have all been dead since the frame would have crushed differently. Ahh, Japanese engineering. Yeah, It's good you were driving around in that go-kart with a nice frame as opposed to the Mustang, and as you said, if it was a Mustang, the situation would have been fatally different. this topics makes me scared that in 4 years I can drive alone... Toga... I think we're all afraid that in 4 years you can drive at all. But yeah, it is good that you're still alive. I'm sorry that some cuntbag motherfucker put your life at risk. Link to comment
FaultyClockwork Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 WHAT THE FUCKING HELL MAN ALUNDRA!? Shit, you have the worst fucking luck ever. Holy crap that is one of the craziest things I have heard about in a while. Man... I'm just glad you're okay... : \ Don't feel guilty about anyone elses injuries please. You don't want to guilt trip yourself for something you had no control over, don't do that to yourself. You're a good guy and with your bad luck you don't need to have it in for yourself either. I'm just glad you're okay guy. Link to comment
Alundra Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I appreciate the support all, these past 2 days have been extremely tough with my injuries and mental state. Link to comment
The Lone Magician Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Why should you be dead? I've read this and, logically, you shouldn't. Because if you SHOULD be dead, wouldn't you be? Congrats on pwning the Reaper. And I'm with you, kill that freak. Link to comment

Alundra Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 It's a shame things didn't work out for Death. What is that supposed to mean? Link to comment
thebornotaku Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 What is that supposed to mean? I think he was trying to be funny, Alundra. Playing on the phrase "I cheated death". Link to comment
HappyLittleBoozer Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Well, at least you're alive and the accident was caused by someone obviously rich enough to buy you a new car and pay for your medical bills. BTW, everyone knows it's a Lexus dealership regulation that they can't sell to anyone who it's a certified asshole. Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Alundra, have you at any time in the past had a voodoo curse put on you? Because I haven't heard of many people with worse luck than you. Good thing you're alive though. Link to comment
