Default my baby is gone! NOW WITH PICS!

6:30 last nite-Drop off my cousin with his mom.
7:50 last nite-looked at a cj2a.
8:10 last nite-Sitting at a stop light in Roanoke and lite changes green for me to turn My right-a-way! Me and my gf are hungry.
8:11 last night-95 Dogde Carvan blows the stop light t-bone my heep on my gf door. threw heep on its side, her into my lap, and spins the heep around 4 time into a new dodge carvan. I got out and got my gf with help of others. I'm fine except my shoulder hurts like a SOB. My gf got a really big goose egg on her head. Pics of the heep will come later when we go get my stuff out of it.

Brain it happened right in front of the Ruby Tuesdays on Electric Rd.

My friend heard I got hit and he was in the middle of a movie with a girl and got up walked out and drove an hour and a half just to see me and make sure I was ok.
His dad left work which was about 15 mins away from where I was and came and stay at the hosiptal till we left and then took me to ihop for food.

Did they say everything ok? Did they say come back for check up? Keep your receipts. Even if you insurance paid for it. That person who hit you will pay for it all. I hope yall ok. Dont do anything physical for a few day if you can help it.

I hope you get better soon. I would love to go hunting. But I work 7 days a week. Never have time. I hope you and your girl get better soon. Hope its nothing that will hurt you for the rest of you life. like your back. If its something that heals. look at the bright side. You will get money for your jeep. and you will get a nice settlement. But health comes first.
