    On March 4, 2006 my little brother was the driver of this vehicle. 
    He was about a block and a half from his driveway after a night
    of rain and "fun".  His injuries consisted of
    three broken ribs, ruptured spleen, ruptured diaphragm,
    lesion on pancreas, bruised kidneys, back fractures, collapsed
    lung.  His stomach and ruptured spleen were pushed up into
    his lung cavity.  After his helicopter ride to a different
    city he under went emergency surgery and they left him open for
    over twenty-four hours before taking him back to the O.R. 
    He was on a ventillator for over a week and faced trouble when
    trying to wein him from it.  Later placed a trach. 
    He lay in S.I.C.U. for eleven days and doesn't remember a whole
    lot about it.  He had many tubes.  They were in his
    chest, colon, and stomach.  He at one time had thirteen
    i.v. bags running.  He came home after eighteen days with
    a trach, g-tube, j-tube, and many many scars.  His condition
    was still scary even then.  
    After three months he is still working on recovery.  Not
    to mention the finacial burden that goes a long with on going
    insurance letigations with the cost of his medical
    bills surpassing $700,000, as well as legal
    issues.  Now if one person would read this story and it
    prevent them from being another statistic or traveling the troubled
    road my brother has, it has been worth my time!
