Currently resting at home, sufferring from delayed whiplash injuries sufferred in car accident several weeks ago...
lower back, right shoulder, and neck...
Existing damaged left ankle and right knee injuries aggravated in crash, between MLK 250 I was a sleeping front passenger in, and a 38 ton truck...
Apparently, driver of the Mercedes I had being travelling in, swerved left into the front offside wheels of the lorry, sending the vehicle I was in, swerving sideways, this way and that, and managing somehow not to roll over...
All the damage to the new Mercedes was in an area of the front nearside wing, and the front nearside passenger door, where I was sitting a sleep...
The funny thing was that at the time of the collision I did not realise that I had been injured at all. I simply remember being shook from my sleep by a huge bang, followed immediately by a loud and continuos thudding noise, accompanied by screaching of tyres, and a floating sensation as a result of the vehicle I was travelling swerving in the motorway all over the place. When the Mercedes eventually was brought to a stand still, I asked the driver what had just happened, and he replied, "I think I've just hit that lorry". I then said, "what lorry", and he said, "that lorry behind us"...
A minute or so later, I became aware of headlights pulling up behind us on the hard shoulder, and my driver got out and I think he went to speak to the driver, about what had happened. He was gone from the vehicle I was sat in for a few moments, before the front passenger door of the vehicle I was sitting in, was forced open and I was suprised to see a man bending into the car asking me, "are you alright, son", or words to that effect, "are you injured, do I need to call for an ambulance"...
"No", I said, "I do not think I am injured", I said, to the man, who must have been the driver of the lorry...
