'69 Z28 Wreck

[SS427]

Glad to hear you came out ok in that wreck Mark.

I was paged to a similar accident about 3 weeks ago at 3:00 in the morning. A 22 year old fell asleep at the wheel and impacted a traffic light head on at 60 mph. He hit the pole in the drivers front corner, spinning the car 180 degrees and slid to a stop 75 feet down the highway. The impact was so severe that the engine was in the interior about 1 foot and the front bumper was only a foot from the windshield. When we pulled up on the scene we fully expected an extracation but instead were greeted by a young man with a smirk. He did not even have a scratch on him though I am sure he was sore the next morning. I have no idea how he survived the crash as it was one of the more severe one sthat I had seen. If I had been more awake I would have brough my camera along with. From now on I am going to raust Ann's butt out of bed so she can photo document these calls!

That is one Wild Wreck

That sure is an ugly car and you are one lucky dude. The same sized impact in the middle of the passenger door took a buddy of mine at 19. They said the passenger seat crushed his internals, he was belted in.

I remember a wreck that the kid brother of one of my high school friends had. It was a 68 GTO ragtop. The kid had a history of sleepwalking. One night he walked right into his GTO and drove off down the street, while still sleeping. He went straight instead of making the 90 degree turn 2 miles up the road. The car was completely destroyed. The only salvagable part was a 6" by 10" piece of the quarter panel that had the GTO decal on it. The kid survived without a scratch. He made that 6"x10" piece of metal into a vanity license plate for his next car.
