Glad to hear you came out ok in that wreck Mark.

I was paged to a similar accident about 3 weeks ago at 3:00 in the morning. A 22 year old fell asleep at the wheel and impacted a traffic light head on at 60 mph. He hit the pole in the drivers front corner, spinning the car 180 degrees and slid to a stop 75 feet down the highway. The impact was so severe that the engine was in the interior about 1 foot and the front bumper was only a foot from the windshield. When we pulled up on the scene we fully expected an extracation but instead were greeted by a young man with a smirk. He did not even have a scratch on him though I am sure he was sore the next morning. I have no idea how he survived the crash as it was one of the more severe one sthat I had seen. If I had been more awake I would have brough my camera along with. From now on I am going to raust Ann's butt out of bed so she can photo document these calls!
