My name is craig and i survived this accident on 7-24-2004
in rhode island on route 10 when i was traveling at the posted
speed limit of 50 mph in the high speed lane.
There was a car in the high speed land broken down and in the
entire lane, this is a 4 lane highway so i signeled to go to
the next lane over and passed the broken down car and glanced
over to see that it was a woman with kids so i looked in my side
mirror to see if the car behind me had missed it or hit it and
when i looked up there was a flat bed tow truck backing up across
the 2 high speed lanes about 3-4 car lengths ahead of me .
It had a car on the flat bed so i did not see his overhead emergency
lights. there were cars in the other 2 lanes so i had no where
to go but into him at 50 mph and him doing about 10 mph in reverse.
i hit my brakes and tried to swerve to the left to avoid him
but i had no time so i just closed my eyes and thought "this
is gonna hurt".
The last thing i remember seeing is my hood buckling up and then
everything went black. When i came to my head was outside the
drivers window and the driver of the flat bed tow truck was slapping
me in the face saying "hey buddy you just hit my truck"
well i will not go into detail of what i said back to him but
it was not nice.
He then proceded to tell me that he would tow my destroyed truck
back to his shop and give me one just like it for free if i didnt
fill out a police report and we would call it even .the fire
, police and rescue came and a different flatbed came and towed
my truck. well needless to say he was cited on the scene for
backing where prohibited and come to find out after getting all
information from different people that the drivers insurance
was canceled on 7-7-2004.
I was in the hospital one day and the did 18 xrays on different
parts of my body and a cat scan on my head .only injury was a
knee injury and and extremely sore shoulder. final note from
me is that "SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES " buckle up america
we love you all .
