nearly killed by drunk driver this morn...

[ahmonrah]

i was nearly killed this morning.

i'm sitting at the stop light at the intersection of south hairston and main street in Decatur.
it's about 2:30 in the morning and i'm heading home. while waiting for the light to turn green i see a car coming aroung the bend i just came around 5 minutes before doing a rediculous amount of speed(at least 65) i see he's in the left lane still accelerating (based on how he was closing on me at an increasing rate) and since i'm in the right i'm like "shit this guys flying fast, good thing he's in that lane."
as i watch him in the rear view my eyes dart to the light for cross traffic, it's green,then yellow. i look into the rear view he's about 300ft from me, still in his lane(left) i look back to the light, it goes from yellow to red for cross traffic. i look to see where he is , he's less than 200 ft from me but i see his lights cross the lanes and make a line for the back of my truck. i raise my foot to mash the throttle in an attempt to get out the way.........next thing i know i feel a huge pain at the bck of my head, i feel the somethings sharp cutting across my shouders and heat all aroung me. i feel myself tumbling, hear metal screeching against concrete, and suddenly i'm sideways hanging up by my seatbelt in an orange room.
it's hot and i look to realize my truck if completly engulfed in fire. i look up to my drivers door , there are flames licking up over the door ,which is pointed skyward. look at the hood of my truck and flames are there. look down to the passenger side door , i see grass and fire. i tried to get the seat belt undone, but i was susended with my foot trapped under the set and my weight was holding the belt tight. i feel heat at me face and told mysely "i'm not ding like this, not like this" and used my foot that was stuck under the seat to stand on while i worked to unlock the belt.
it finally gave way and since my head busted the rear glass upon impact i was able to get out by that twisted exit. that was this morning at 2:30 am. i'll post pics of the scene and what was left of my truck when i get home.

the guy that hit me was going 70 on a service street, DUI , illegal lane change, reckless endangerment. he was taken to jail .
