    was in hospital for 4days with a broken collarbone and collapsed lung....

    **** me thats a bad one

    ive had a bad one in a metro years ago a bit like that ended up in a ditch and couldnt get out of the car as it was on its roof lucky for me my brother was following me home he said the rear tyre just went on the corner and saw it all

    he thought i was dead he managed to drag the car out with his transit and get me out. only reason he knew i was alive was because i was screaming like mad. i broke both legs ,collar bone, and 4 fingers

    i hope he gets well soon very scary stuff in a mini i guess

    tell me about it i was talking to him, and he says hes sure he shouldnt be here, he'd jst dropped his other half home, and like he just keeps saying that hes so glad she wasnt in the car.... because with sods law... if you get me

    Thing is he turned 17 like 4 months ago and he's not the kind of lad who'd **** around

    He loved the car fixed it up himself

    He's very lucky indeed.

    Has he got much in the way of cuts? That roof's not looking nice.

    Damn that is grim, hopefully he can make a fully recovery.

    Someone I know was a passenger in Mini that left the road at fair speed the top of the door frame was apparently wrapped around his head, also broke the C2 bone in his neck IIRC. Spent months in IC and last time I saw him he'd got no sensation in his finger tips from the head injuries some memory problems, but lucky to be walking around.

    Forget being alive, how did he get away with one broken bone??

    Still, he's young. He'll heal quickly.

    Loss of the car probably more agonising...

    Right, pass the T-Cut, let's fix this motha.

    Jokes aside... fooking ouch. I'm surprised he's still alive. [:s] It's scenes like that that make me not want to drive again. It took me an hour and a bit to get out of Cardiff the other day in the gridlocked traffic, fuming all the way. Then I see fire engines, police cars and a Laguna with its roof cut off. [:s]

    Well, glad he's OK-ish. :thumbup: Could have been much, much worse...
