I thought I would try and share a picture of my son's Pontiac after the accident on 'black ice' this past January 09' in MN/-10f. I was in the front passenger seat and was t-boned. The EMS Jaws of Life cut me out and a CAREFLIGHT chopper flow me the 50 miles to the Mayo Clinic....I don't remember any of it!

Not a day will go by 'ever' that I don't offer up 'THANKS' to the Lord/my family/Swampers/friends/Mayo Clinic.

Darn Minnesota...Almost kills you and then steals our QB...

Damm Dude...You had better hurry up..Summer is almost done. I hear it hit 39* up north last night....
 
Wow Alan, that is hard to look at, so glad everything worked out in the end. On a side note kinda weird you put this up now, I am studying for my traffic crash test right now that I have on Monday.
 
I worked in EMS for 5 years, and i have see a lot of crashes. its amazing what the human body can take, and still able to go on. Well i am glad your ok. Be happy you dont remmber it, it's most likely better that way.
