I spent last night at the hospital. (now with carnage pics)

BTW - is that your Daughter with him?  Good lookin' young lady - was she adopted?

Yes...and NO!

For some reason, I can never see CHARGER_FAN's pics... any of them...  Whyisthat?

Beats me. Are you at work? Maybe they have you blocked from my pic host site...like my work Nazi's do for me on Cardomain & others.

Wow!!  Doctors do amazing work don't they?    Sometimes we don't give the doctors and the emergency medical personel the credit they deserve.

Man, that's an ugly incident.  So sorry.

I hope he recovers okay.  Those kinds of severe bone breaks with hardware inside can keep hurting for a long, long time.

Wow...that could have been much worse. I agree the the rear steps probably saved him. Hope all turns out for him and he has a speedy recovery. 

[hemihead]

 I'll say a prayer for his recovery . I bet the Honda driver is on some forum right now saying " It was my fault .... "

[400/6/PAC]

Good to see He's doing ok.

[Khyron]

Sorry, I just saw this post, glad he's doing well and yes, i even yelled ouch when I saw that X-Ray. Good luck on his recovery.

[Tilar]

He's definitely lucky. Someone was watching out for him. How are the people iin the van? Any of them hurt?

[hemi68charger]

Man,, what a lucky young man !!!!  It's nice to know he'll be taken care of financially and emotionally by you guys........ 

[Charger_Fan]

As bad as this injury is, he definitely considers himself lucky, because it could have easily been SO much worse.
Aside from our family, he's had a ton of relatives, friends & co-workers drop in to see him, which has helped keep his spirits up.

He's definitely lucky. Someone was watching out for him. How are the people iin the van? Any of them hurt?

We were told there was only the driver in the van & he pretty much walked away from the accident...he was even refusing medical attention at the scene. Probably because he knew this whole thing was gonna cost him!
If there was a passenger in the front seat, I would guess it would have been fatal, judging from the pics.

Looks like he's doing fairly well, all things considered. Wow, what a mess. I just hope the doctors were able to patch up the veins good enough or he's going to have a lot of circulation problems later in life. I know what that's like. At least it's good news overall and he should be able to walk again.

That Honda driver deserves a trip to the hospital now.

That's why I asked... That didn't look good for any passengers. Glad he is doing well.

[Plumcrazy]

Damn lucky young man, hope he recovers fully. 

[71ChallengeHer]

I'll keep him in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

[Afflyer]

Dude!  Give that guy a cold one on us when he gets released from the hospital!

My hat is off to him!

[The70RT]

Ouch. The Honda guy was livin on a prayer. If he would have hit square I would hate to see any of it. I can't imagine the pain you bud is in. I would say the driver owes one hell of an apology.....well some day after all the dust settles. Money can't take away pain but I hope he gets a good lawyer

[Forza]

Holy shit, now that's a fracture! Glad you're ok, that driver's lucky he didnt have a passenger. When will these peckerheads learn to watch the road? Best of luck to you and hopefully a speedy recovery.

[OldGuy]

Sorry to hear about the accident - hope all goes well during his recovery.  Fortunately, he is young and his body can repair and heal itself much quicker.  Take care.

[Old Moparz]

Wow, i haven't been on line much & then I see all this. Sorry about what happened CF, but glad things weren't worse.
