just flipped my truck

i was headin home tonight from practice at my band mates house. its kind of rainy outside but i didnt think much of it. i was coming around a really slow curve not five minutes from my house when my phone rang. i reach for it in my pocket, felt some vibrations, looked up and next thing i know i was in the air on my side. i hit and slid about 20 feet. when i finally stopped it was about 150 feet after i went off the road. i was stuck in the truck for a second but a woman who had seen it and called the police held open the door for my while i climbed out. i had been drinkin (not much maybe 3 beers) and i had an unopened one in my pocket. i managed to get out and throw the bottle deep in the woods before the cops got there.
i told the cop i was yakkin on the phone and he said he would have let me go,but since it was govt property he had to write me up for failure to maintain lane. He was a real cool cop. he never said anything about smelling alcohol, but my mom said i reeked when she got there. once my parents showed up he started sayin he could smell a little alcohol but my mom is so cool she immediately said she had had a few drinks that night before my dad drove them up there.
im just so thankful that im alive right now, ive never had a wreck like that. thankful for my parents too, they're the greatest parents anyone could ask for. they knew i wasnt really drunk and i couldnt believe when my mom told the cop that it was her he was smelling. im so very blessed (or lucky whatever you wanna call it)and thankful for everything. all the cops firefighters and emts said they couldn't believe i walked away from it without a scratch. i was wearin a seat belt,and i just want to tell everyone to be as safe as you can. they said i would have been toast without it. i got really lucky this time, and im not sure how much the drinking had to do with it, but im definitely thinking twice and three times before i get behind the wheel of a car from now on, even when im just a little buzzed. i certainly pissed a lot of people off tonight, but sometimes i have to learn the hard shit on my own.
i know i might get some responses saying im really irresponsible and all that, but i just had to vent somewhere. god i love the shroomery

yea maybe they didn't do anything about you smelling like alcohol cause it was just you, or if they couldn't smell it cause it was outside. Good thing the beer was unopened also.

I once hit this old lady with opened beer and opened beers everywhere. and the beer went all over me and i got outta the car covered in beer and was afraid the cops were gonna come but she was senile and just exchanged info and drove off so i was thankful for that.

thanks for the kind words. i live in kennesaw, ga. its a 99 dodge ram 4x4. its a lot of cosmetic damage but from what we could tell tonight. there wasnt too much major stuff. one tire got completely ripped off a wheel, but we drove it back here once we changed the tire, so im real impressed by how tough that thing is.
just one of those experiences that really wakes you up. no way im sleepin tonight. i had been tryin to get off opiates too this week and last week, but i was so freaked out i had to get something to get the shakes to go away. all this shits starting to pile up, but at least i have my health.

you're damn lucky you dont have a DUI to go with the wrecked truck given that it's kennesaw, my brother did the same, the cop that responded was getting ready to send him home with my parents but my brother wouldnt shut up so in addition to broken ribs, a totaled truck and a bad hangover he had a $3500 bond, a few days in jail, a DUI, and 2 years probation
what got the superfecta... "you're kinda chubby but you and me could go get a motel room and have a little fun"

I remember Syle making a thread about a year ago about flipping his truck. It sounded like it was a very eye-opening experience for him. Glad to hear you're alright man.

yeppers. it was. glad you're alright Kush. tell me, do you remember having an emotion when you were in mid air? i remember a distinct clarity when I rolled my truck. not good or bad clarity, but just, clarity.

yeah, its hard as hell to describe, im sure you know if youve done it. a moment of clarity is a good way to put it. there was a very distinct second i remember thinking "this is it, when you hit the ground youre gone." next thing i knew i was standing on my driver's side window and trying to push open the passenger door. i didn't roll it completely, it just ended up on the driver's side door. scary as hell though.
