Default hmmmm

so I just went out to where the crash happened and I was left scratching my head in disbelief. I really did miss an overpass by three feet, there is a sewer storm drain in that exact spot so a very steep embankment, the car hit that embankment sideways, flipped in midair ( you can see where the car left the ground) landed back on it's wheels and slid about 150 more feet, I really believe that if it had rolled on the ground, I wouldn't be writing this. I must have blacked out on the first impact, 'cause I don't remember anything after missing the wall, until I opened the car door. I drove by the tow yard where the car is and the whole back end of the car is shoved sideways about 6 inches. but strangely enough, no damage to the front A pillars or front end body work, the sunroof is intact, there are scrape marks on the roof near the back window, which busted out, so I'm thinking it didn't go very high while spinning. all in all, I'm damn lucky it hit rear first. thanks for all the well wishes.. I'll update when I can..

Good to hear you got out ok. Sounds like a pretty bad accident. Where in CO was the accident, what road?

Damn bro. I'm glad you were wearing your seatbelt.
These cars are pretty tough. But they seem to hate traction. Go figure.
Its stuff like that that make you realize that
"life is short. Enjoy it." is more than just a saying.
Very glad to read no one was injured.

Your down to 8 lives now.

The wreck happened on northbound I-25, 1 mile south of Harmony Rd exit, near Fort Collins.
