Truck's totaled
I wrecked my truck today. Nobody else was hurt, I was by myself. I think I'm alright, just a headache and my ribs hurt pretty bad. They say my head must have smashed out the driverside window and my ribs hit the steering wheel(damn bag never deployed). I was wearing my seatbelt, so that kept me from being flung around. I don't know the specifics of what happened as far as impacts, but I know what led up to it. I was passing a few cars that were playing around with eachother, when I went to pass them, they wouldn't move over and even sped up. Then there was an oncoming car, so with nowhere to go I got on the opposite shoulder, but the oncoming car paniced and swerved in all directions. So I did my best to avoid them, and woke up about 20yards off the road and stuck on top of some small trees and other ****. It appears I that I ended up hitting a wooden/concrete post and the truck wrapped around it and then got flung around and into that pile. The cops and ambulance told me I was lucky to be alive, because I narrowly missed a drainage ditch(by a few inches) that would have flipped the truck into some bigger posts. I know it was my fault, so I'm not mad at anybody or blaming anyone. Thank God my wife and daughter weren't with me.

The local clinic says I seem fine, just took a good shot to the side of my face and a headache would be normal - no swelling, no red eyes, or sensitivity. I think I'm going to try to get my wife a diesel truck and the 6.0[if it still runs] is going in the 86.
