Accident

[Al Wilson]

Hi guys

Just writing this because I'm lucky to be alive after a head on collision with another car yesterday evening.

Don't remember much of it but I know five of us in MKIII Fiesta rounded a corner and hit a Mercedes head on. Both cars were written off with most of the passengers of the car I was in suffering whip lash and briuses. I was a passenger in the rear middle seat so had the luxery of a lap belt. I have not escaped so lightly and now have serious internal briusing around the stomach and ribs and in the most pain I've ever been in.

Having great difficultly walking and moving about but theres not much I can do but rest and take painkillers!

I am going to try and get to the National at Wicksteed next weekend but might have to get someone else to drive me there.

The thing that makes it so lucky was we were on a return journey and the one going out we didn't wear the seatbelts... It has been a wake up call to say the least and a mistake I shall never make again even though I do feel ripped in half.

Want to say big thanks to the paramedic and doctors who dealt with us all, you guys were great!

Cheers for your time
Al

calm down!! he did say he hopes he gets well soon and then mentioned about the car and I am fairly sure Al is probably glad it wasn't in his car aswell!!

hope you have a speedy recovery and take this rest time to figure out more panels to convert to carbon fibre :)

Bloody hell, sounds like a real bad crash and looks like the seat belt saved your life.
At least you survived, if the car didn't.

[Al Wilson]

Thanks guys for all the support, you're all stars!

Just got back from the doctors as the pain was unbearable last night and I haven't slept for 2 days. Apparently all my lower organs were compressed badly in the accident and now are not in exactly the right place! Oh great. Going to be out for about 4 weeks so no carbon work for a while. Lots of time on Novaload so there is some consollation! :D

Thanks again

Al

aye hope ur ok mate least it wernt the nova

[Mel]

wow. i am glad you're ok (considering). Hope you thank your guardian angels, cause it sounds like they were definately with you lot.

Get well soon, and hope your mates are all ok. Such a nasty thing to hear about accidents that cause death, so thankfully you are still with us. Its terrible being in an accident, so hope it doesnt effect you too badly in the future (which is what i am now, from an accident last year that wasnt as serious as this lol).

anyway, lol..like i said before, get well soon.
