Wow! I hope you feel better and recover quickly.

 

[SilverBillet]

Glad you’re ok. You might have still been hurt even with your seatbelt hooked up. We had an accident a few years ago. Airbags deployed but my wife had a cracked sternum from the seatbelt.

Fck Gary.
Tomorrow is going to suck.
If you got some pain killers, take before you go to bed.
Also, Get checked for whiplash, it's a mutherfkr.
Will come back and bite you in a month or more.
Prayers brother

 

[Bobo]

Wow! Glad you didn’t die!!!!
Pics of truck if you get a chance to get any!
I used to run wrecker service for my dads body shop and always found smashed vehicles interesting, what it takes to fix them is amazing! What can be fixed us even more amazing. Modern cars are not designed to be fixed after an accident like that like older ones were.

 

[Old Mopar Guy]

Glad you weren't killed. Dorry the truck is now junk, but its easily replaced, you, not so much. Yup, you’ll feel like shit in a day or two.

 

[HWDan]

Coming here to post about it a few hours later is a blessing.

Hope you fully recover in no time. Prayers your way.

Thanks big guy ...somebody was wacthin over me...

 

[Speedy!]

Dang man glad you're OK. Take those pain killers before bed and plan on relaxing tomorrow.

Years ago a guy in a Blazer went sideways in front of me and hit the barrier. I avoided him but the semi behind tboned him. Burst in to flames. Me and another guy helped him escape and he didn't have a scratch. Miracle. The semi burned to the ground melting the asphalt.

Glad you’re well enough to type this message. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Oh no I hope you’re alright man!!! Praying for a speedy recovery

 

[MikeD1]

The wife is correct, you're gonna be hurting the next few days so take it real slow, prob. best not to drive till you are sure everything is OK.
If something does feel 'off' seek treatment ASAP, the body does weird stuff immediately after an accident that keeps you from fully realizing the extent of the damage !

 

[jroyk]

Good to know you’re okay. Don’t forget to thank the Big Guy. 🙏🏻

Glad you are ok and hope the best for a speedy recovery - 2nd-3rd day will tell much more............
