Car Accident in Snowy Mountain
5 years ago
I haven't really go onto FA much other than posting art commissions. Just a big update that happened to me and my boyfriend, Kokkivo.
We were driving up to Evergreen mountain area in Kokkivo's truck. We were picking up his bodysuit. It was all great until we were leaving the maker's house. The weather was snowing moderately and the roads were covered in snow/ice/slush. As we were driving down, Kokkivo tried to go slow, about 10 mph; in addition to the weather condition, I tend to get motion sickness with the higher altitude and the twists and turns in the mountain if we went faster than 15 mph. Unfortunately, as we were going down a slope, we were losing traction. Kokkivo was hitting his brakes but the truck kept gaining speed. We reached a corner and as we try to turn, there was a plow truck. We tried to turn more so that we can hope to go into a ditch, but instead, we hit the plow truck. Kokkivo's side was smashed into the plow, but I ended up with the most injuries. Both my knees and my left rib area were injured. We overheard the plow trucker and another truck driver (who was coming up shortly after the crash) yelling at each other while we were in the damaged vehicle. All I heard was the truck driver was cussing and threatening the plow trucker to move out of the way, not giving a care that there's injured people inside the crashed vehicle. Sadly, no one got the license plate of that trucker because he was hindering us for calling 911. We both managed to get out of the damaged truck and, due to adrenaline rush, I went to take photos. However, as seconds gone by, I was limping and getting shortage of breathing. After awhile, the ambulance came and the paramedics did a quick analysis on both of us. My right knee was swollen huge and I felt sharp pain on my left side rib area. Kokkivo had his right eyelid burnt and blood blisters on his knuckles. I was taken to the ER while Kokkivo had to stay behind to wait for police.
I had to stay overnight at the hospital because my right knee was so swollen that they wanted to monitor me to make sure nothing else gets severe. After several hours had gone by, Kokkivo was able to come over and was able to spend the night and rest of the weekend with me (with permission from his military higher-ups because he's the only "family member" that is close to me and local. The x-rays show no broken or fractured bones, thankfully; my right knee and left side rib area are bruised. The next day after the accident, the swollen on my knee stopped and I was discharged from the hospital. However, I have to be on crutches for awhile.
I do recall Kokkivo put his right arm out in front of me so that my head/upper body doesn't hit the dashboard. We could have gotten worse conditions but we're both thankful that we didn't. The accident was a nature freak one because of how bad the snowfall had gotten and how slippery the roads were. But we're both thankful that we're alive and a lot of locals and online furs wish us both quick recovery and gave us much love and support.
I have a couple photos of my knee and its progression, but I don't think I should upload them here since it's not furry related.

Those are some awful injuries. It's terrible this happened to both of you. I swear, some people on the road are just in their own little world when driving. I'm thankful you're both recovering from it.

I'm glad too. I'd say that's the first time I've been in an actual nature freak accident.


Oh no!! I’m so sorry that happened! I pray you and your boyfriend will recover fully, and I’m glad to hear you’ve healed up some!

Holy shit, that's horrible to hear! I'm thankful you were able to get away without any broken bones, or more serious injuries at least.

I am also thankful that we didn't get any broken bones and such. I do have my MRI result appointment this Tuesday, so hopefully I can get some good news.
