I got into a nasty bang-up back in 2000 when I was driving with my best friends to go Christmas shopping. We were on a 3 lane highway, I was in the middle lane. There was a woman in the left lane, just ahead of me. She promptly put on her blinker and switched lanes INTO me.
I hit the right guardrail, swung across and banged into the left guardrail. Of a 3 lane highway. I threw the car into park, pulled the e-brake, and asked if everyone was okay. They were. I took my foot off the brake pedal, opened my door, and stepped out.
The car flew into reverse. I have no idea how to this day. Upon stepping out, I was pinned under the door, face down, being dragged on the pavement for who knows how long. I CLEARLY remember thinking "If I don't put my head down on the ground, I will die."
I put my head down, cheek to the ground as I was moving, and the door went over my head. My friends tell me today that they thought I was dead. The car ran over the side of my leg (which I have no feeling in today).
Eventually, the curvature of the highway caused the car to hit another guardrail down the line, and the wheels spun out a while. I got up off the ground, ran to the car, and let my friends out. They couldn't get out because the guardrails I hit had banged the doors in so they couldn't open the doors properly.
I am amazed we survived it with MINIMAL injuries. I was the one who got banged up - they were fine. The doctor who saw me the next day said I was internally bleeding judging by the bruises I had on my body. I didn't believe her and walked out against medical advice.
This is the night Jim Morrison appeared. You guys are going to think I am fucking whacked out of my mind, but I am not the only one who witnessed it. We call him this because he was EXACTLY how you'd imagine Morrison these days. He appeared out of nowhere, said NOTHING but "God is on your side tonight" (to which I balked in tears, of course), and DISAPPEARED as quickly as he arrived. Very. Very. Fucking. Strange.
