    Location: Conyers - Intersection of 138 and Centennial Olympic Parkway (the road that the horsepark is located on for those that have been to shows there).

    An 18 yr old kid (in that white, 17 ft box truck pictured) ran through a redlight at that intersection at 60mph and hit me on the driver's side door. I died on the scene (twice), had to be airlifted by helicopter to Atlanta, and stayed in a coma for about 5 days. I spent 30 days in the hospital.

    That's about it, really.

    Good Lord. That gives me the shivers just seeing that. And knowing that you died twice. That's very scary. Glad you're still alive.

    well from the looks of the wreck, it may be better that way.. id just always heard of people having "experiences" when they are under but i always doubt that kind of stuff anyway.

    congrats on pulling through

    Chest/Sternum/Ribs - I "feel" it when the weather changes. Arthritis of sorts. My left shoulder hurts at various times as well.

    It wasn't the intersection so much as giving the keys to an 18 yr old Jr. High dropout.

    I have never seen him, spoken to him, or gotten a "get well" card from him. I instructed my father to never give me his name (for the kid's safety). It is better that way.
