Hit by a Car : (
12 years ago
I'm gonna try to type with both hands but it's hard with a broken collarbone.
Today while riding my bike down Huntington Ave at around 8AM, passing by 2 lines of cars stopped on my side of the road, a woman in a gray SUV took a left turn from the opposite side of the road directly in front of me and i slammed straight into her rear door, going a pretty decent speed. My front tire turned off to the left and I launched forward, smashing into the top of her car breaking off something that was plastic with my shoulder. I fell back down on the street and lay there for a second.
I was pretty dazed and shaken up and when I got my bearings there were already 3 people there willing to help me out. They got me up and out of the street to the curb with my bike (that I think is still in pretty decent condition). One called 911 for me, a girl bent down and wanted to see if I needed anything and stayed with me till the ambulance came and another guy checked to see if I was hurt and then got the information from the woman for me.
The ambulance came and I was strapped in and everything and taken to the hospital. Yadda yadda yadda, its all boring hospital bullshit from here on out but yeah, I have a broken collarbone and I'm on drugs. Yuck.
Wear a helmet when you ride.

:< Biking can be dangerous sometimes
At least it wasn't any worse and those people were there to help
*hugs*
I know I'd need one after a traumatic experience like that
