"I'm lucky to be alive."

After persuading me to go out for dinner tonight, my friend's boyfriend offered to take us clubbing. We was going to a club in Rochester which is half hour drive from my house, straight down the A2.

After picking up two of my friends boyfriend's, mates we all bundled into his saxo. We'd just got on to the motorway when we hit traffic, about 20 cars in front of us there was an accdient. We was there for about an hour, playing eye-spy, then suddenly we got moving.

Somehow we got ahead of the rest of the cars, and so had the whole motorway ahead of us. I was sitting looking out my window, cramped between some dude and the left side of the car thinking about dancing and clubbing for the 3rd time this week.

Out of nowhere came another car, in front of us. My friends boyfriend swerved to avoid it but it still hit us. We went spinning from fast lane into the slow lane and hit one of them metal things (right now i can't think for the life of me what they are called) which stop cars going over the sides. Anyways, we went sideways into them and now my shulder is all bruised and my head hurts-ALOT.

We jumped out the car and looked at the mess on the motorway. My coat which was in the boot was about 10 meters away and in the middle lane, and my bag which was on my lap was another 10 meters away. My mate's boyfriend told us that a car was coming in the opposite direction. I'm no expert on cars, but there was at least 3 write-off's, including the Saxo.

I remember everything about the crash, and my mate don't. I'm still trying to work out which is a better way to have it. I've spent the last 3-ish hours running it through in my head and crying.

Me and my friend, and her boyfriend all went to hospital. My mum and dad came to pick me up and got told that the other driver was an 82 year old man, driving the wrong way on the motorway. He died. I also got told I was very lucky to be alive.

Anyways. Sorry to bore you all, just had to get that off my chest no jokes please, not in the mood

Dunno, he takes me all kinds of places. Just took me to heaven and back ;o)

Where you be without him, eh?

[edit] I don't have an evil dirty mind, i didn't get this. My boyfriend just explained it to me.

Ooh, nasty. Glad you're alright, I don't suppose many people get off so lightly after such an event.

Although I must ask what the sentance "I'm still trying to work out which is a better way to have it" refers to.

Good thing you and your friend were wearing seatbelts and so hardly got hurt at all.

My brother's girlfriend said I wouldn't be able to since the driver had died. But my mate and her boyfriend are going to try and claim.

Can't really see who she could sue though.

Problem is that the bruises and stuff don't usually appear until the next day after the crash after the report is given to the news. They would be unlikely, as Light said to report about bruising anyway.

This is EB by the way.
