Heading down 95 south there was a car more than 4 car lengths ahead in the hov lane. It had it's hazzard light on. I remember seeing that. I was the lead bike in the right lane next to the hov lane. I turned around to signal everyone behind me that a cop was a came on the highway. As I was signaling the car with the came over into my lane. I turned back around and that's all I remember.... I woke up that night in the trama unit of Jackson Memorial Hospital. My friend that was riding behind me told me what happened later.

The car which was a honda element had a flat tire and was driving in the hov lane at 15 mph. Instead of pulling over in the emergancy lane the person was trying to get off the highway. They cut over into my lane and the car in front of me had to swear out of the way because it was going so slow. When I hit it the car was at a dead spot as it was trying to cut over all the lanes to get off the next exit. I was doing about 50 mph when I turned back around and the car was less than 10 feet in front of me. My friend said I lock the brakes, the bike then hit the rear of the car sending me into the rear window head first. I shattered the window with my face and then fell to the ground. My friend said he was the first person to me and I was laying in a pool of blood. He said I was moning and my eyes were rolled into the back of my head. He also told me that I was bleeding out of my nose and mouth and I kept choking on my blood as I tried to breath. Just from holding me he said he was covered in my blood.

Now this the part that really had me realize how lucky I am. While he was holding me, I wasn't reponding to anything anyone said, but he knew I was alive because I was blowing bubbles from the blood out of my nose everytime I took a breath. After sometime he said I stopped shaking and shortly after the bubbles stopped and I stopped breathing. He thought I died in his hands at that time. Some women in the crowd surrounding me saw that and started crying as they thought the same thing.

I woke up at the hospital that night in a neck brace and the first thing I did was wiggle my fingers and tows just to see if I lost any. Remarkable, I didn't break any bones and after I took a cat scan they released me from the hospital 3am that morning. Now there was a person across from me in the trama unit that fell on a 4 wheeler with no helmet on. He died while I was in there. The nurse told me he wasn't wearing his helmet and they tried everyhing but could not bring him back. I heard when the doctor pronounced him dead. If it wasn't for my helmet it would have been me
