Car Crashes + Last Day of College = Unhappy Hickie.
15 years ago
Well, it was my last day of college yesterday. Day was going great, went to my last two lessons, had a laugh with my teachers, went to the leaver assembly.
So then me and a group of friends all piled into my friends car to go to a party. One minute we are all laughing, singing along to music, the next thing I know we've hit a van coming in the opposite direction, then an iron fencing, and then another car.
We came into a corner too fast, skidded across to the other side of the road, collided with the van, then across again to the iron fencing going along the road, and into a parked car on the other side.
I was sat in the rear left seat, my friend next to me in the middle seat, neither of us had our seatbelts on. I flung forward and hit my head on the front passengers seat, putting my arm across onto the drivers seat, she flung forward into my arm and shoulder, stopping her from flying down the middle.
Thankfully, and incredibly luckily we all made it without a scratch. The car however, has been written off.
I had some neck/shoulder pain which the ambulance crew said I should go to hospital for, I said no at first, but they insisted so I was carted off on a stretcher and neck brace. Was at hospital from 3.35 to 7.45 lying on my back in a neck brace and restraints so I couldn't move. Wasn't fun! They did a full CT scan because my first scan showed an abnormality with my spine, but it turns out that's just the way my spine is :P
So after all of it, I have a few torn muscles in my neck and shoulder, but i'm alive. Slept a bit rough last night because I was getting replays of it and waking up. But i'm told that's normal and should pass.
Not the greatest way to spend my last day of college!
