What happens when you fall asleep at the wheel:

If you ever feel drowsy behind the wheel, pull over and call a cab, ok folks?

Remember this. He's my roomy and is still recovering.

 

Actually Sent, that picture was taken late September when the accident happened.... he broke his left tib/fib and severed a bunch of ligaments in his right leg (has dropfoot, but is almost back to 100%)... his legs are still swollen from the accident and he has double vision now...

A little background information:
He was working the overnight shifts (only 8 hours) on the weekend and going to school during the week, just like me... and had less to drive than me. This is the reason I do not like overnight shifts anymore. I came close to doing exactly what he did... I figure I might've fallen asleep at the wheel once or twice but for a microburst. He fell asleep and didn't wake up until he was at the hospital.. and even then he didn't realize what happened until several days later. I saw him the day after. He was in real rough shape.

He's lucky to be alive. If he had been going any faster, chances are that he would've been dead because the telephone pole was right in front of him (it smushed his right leg up to about his chin and forced the left leg under the seat....

Just wanted people to be aware of what can heppen if you drive while you're tired....
