Fell Asleep and Flipped
Socorro, New Mexico
Driver Distraction Gallery
Here's the before and after of a night of in August 1995 somewhere
outside of Socorro, NM (which ironically means aid/help in Spanish).
At about 230-300am, Heading south a few miles outside of the
town I fell asleep at the wheel and according to a passing driver
"my car went off the road up the side of a steep hill and
flipped over."
I narrowedly missed the drop off of the side of the hill by about
6ft & was at it was at least a 100ft drop. It was only my
friend and I and we both got out with only a few scratches and
bruises and I dislocated my left shoulder. I thank God it didn't
turn out worse than it did and no one else was hurt or worse.
