My mum has had a series RTA

AccyAlec · 05-01-2007, 00:52

Hi just to let you all know. My mum has not been on accy web now since new years eve. This is because she has had a major car accident.

She was coming back from getting a new car for a friend (((driving him there to get his new car, and following him back behind his car))) when she was about 20minuits away from home when she saw a rabbit on the motoway in her path. typpically my mum being my mum she swearved out of the way to avoid it as she love animals and there for loosing controll of her car and rolling over and colliding with a lamp post at 60+mph. She must have had an angle watching out for her as the car impact on the lamp had just missed her by about 15cm dinting the back seat on the drivers side.

The car folled its self round the lamp-post. If i had been in the car with her like i normmally am (99% of the time) we would of both been dead as they was such a small spacxe in the car as it all folded in on its self.

Anyway my mums friend noticed in his mirror a lamp post light falling and then realised that it was my mum and turned round on the motoway going the wrong way back to her. He got to the car and my mum was upside down being hanged! by her seat belt. He rung 999 and they said to leave her as she was. HE COULD NOT as she was begging him to get her out as she was hanging. so he ripped the windo screen out and and also the door. Whilst doing this he cut all his arm. He pulled her out had car and wrapped a tent round her that we hads in the boot until the paramedic, police and firebagade came. When they did came they thought that she had been flung out of the window but you could tell she ant by the seat belt marks round her neck.

They also thought she was dead and asked for a body bag as my mums friend was leanijng over crying and hugging her in panic. the paramedics then heared her speak and realised she was not and rushed over to her.

She was rushed over to hospital and was xrayed and believed to just have a broken spine. The next day they did another xray and they did not pick uyp that she actully had a broken spine, broken ribbs and also a puctured lung!!!.

My mum is in preston royal hospital on the A+E ward. - She is doing well in recovery and i am proud of her and love her dearly!!!

Yes they do...so try and get some sleep, you'll have to be well and rested to look after her when she comes home.
