WOW! Sorry to hear that. Did the police show up and write a report?
My neighbor just got rear ended today, on the blvd, and Midland while waiting at a Red light. He got a report written, and the officer said he's still investigating the kid that hit him.
I hope you get justice.
PS, Anybody heard from Griff?
They did show up, but I don't remember anything after he hit me, just up to the point of the accident where I was saying, "Please slow down, please slow down, please slow...SH!T, this is gonna hurt". After that I don't remember anything.

Holy ****, man...I hope the headaches and ringing go away soon. And that the police make the old guy take responsibility for his mistake - and then take his license away.
It’s summer and we’re busy, running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Not getting nearly as much done as I did 10 years ago, though...
I was told that his license was permanently revoked, so there's that. I called the lady in the Yukon two days after the accident, to make sure she was okay. She was fine, the Yukon barely had a scratch and she was more worried about me. She filled me in on what happened after the accident.
While I don't remember anything, I never lost consciousness. I tried getting out of the car and collapsed back in, at which point she told me to stay put. The old man got out of his truck and started blaming everyone, me then her then me again, at which point I called him a mean old oral fornicator (get creative with the real word I used).
Then the ambulance showed up and carted me away. Here's the kicker, the accident literally happened in front of the hospital....$953 for not even a 30-second ride to the hospital.
The doc told me that, since this is concussion #4, the ringing and the headaches would take longer to go away. We'll see.
Here are some pics of the car. I had just flipped 60,000 miles a block before he hit me...car still smelled new and it was a 2001. Turns out the one-piece hydroformed frame was a bit twisted, and I just found out that the day before I received my final settlement offer on the car, the insurance company sold it at auction for $828. How do you sell a car you don't yet own?
Doesn't look as bad as it was...
They had to cut his bumper off to free his truck from the car and then they had to pry the frame off of my tire to get it to roll...
That is a 10-inch crack on the roof by the passenger door...
