Thanks everyone for the kind words and PM's. This was a very serious accident as you can see.
We, me and my 10 year old daughter went to the football game Sunday hopefully to see Payton Manning break a record. It was not meant to be on this beautiful Sunday evening. As normal, the day started out just perfect. Weather was gorgeous in Houston. Nice and sunny. Cleaned the truck up real nice Sunday morning, not a spot on her. Full tank of gas, a great CD in the box and off we go. On the way home, at exactly 3:12PM est, I am going on loop 610 to take 45S. The traffic was backed up a long ways so I left the right lane and moved over 1 lane left. I am going about 50mph at this point. A green vehicle that I beleived to be a van, but was later told it was a pick-up came out of the dead stopped right lane over into my lane about half way. Well I almost clipped it and swerved hard left to avoid it. Then tried to correct it by turning the wheel right. Then she went left again and then right then left. She was swaying on her own and I could not hold her steady. I clipped a vehicle on my left that was in the center lane. This caused my rear to come around and drove me straight towards the guard rail, which is back to the right lane that is stopped. I see we are headed straight for a Camry. I nailed that vehicle in the rear and this flipped us. I guess at that time my air bags have deployed. I now can't see anything. Glass is all over me and all I can do and think about now is my daughter. We are now sliding upside down, going pretty fast, guess it was all the wax on her. I look at my daughter and just tell her, hold on baby. We will stop soon. We then hit another vehicle and knock it hard into the guard rail. We are pinned against the 3rd car now in the freeway upside down. BOTH of us had our seat belts on. I could not undo mine nor could my daughter undo hers. People are rushing to us now. I am dazed as hell and I can hear my daughter screaming. I call to her but cannot reach her. She responds, I'm OK Daddy. Those were the best words I could hear. Well the dash has me pinned in. I cannot get out. Paramedics are coming. People get her out right away, but I cannot move. My shoulder is smashed up against the roof and door of the truck and my left leg is hung up under the dash. My vehicle is smoking and the stereo is still on. I finally free my seat belt and with the help of many, start trying to wiggle free out the window. I finally make it, shook up to say the least. 3 ambulance arrive with a fire truck and a hundred police officers. I can barely see as the impact was so hard that it knocked my glasses off my face and threw them out the window, only God knows where. If not for the seat belts gang, I would have been with those glasses and not writing this now.
I will more than likely sell everything left. Nothing on the outside of the Explorer is good except for the tires and wheels. No body part is untouched. All of the interior is good. Leather seats and new carpet and untouched. Stereo rode out like a champ, staying in place even while upside down. I went this morning with my wife and we paid the storage fee and wrecker fees and had it picked up and brought to my house immediately and stored in my garage. All the glass is busted out except for 1 passenger side rear quarter panel. A neighbor is coming over this weekend and taking the mags and tires off for me and putting back the factory tear drops.
Of course I got the ticket for this. Failure to maintain a safe speed or something like that. My neck, back, left leg, left knee, and my left shoulder are killing me right now. My right hand had a gash in it that you could stick a pencil in and not touch anything. But I didn't get a drop of blood inside the vehicle, LOL. Door panels are OK from what I can see. I just can't leave those Boston ZR6's in them for someone to pick and grab. Time to go and lay back down. Someone took pictures of the accident scene and as soon as I get those from them, I will post them for ya'll. It was unbelievable guys. I could NOT hold the steering wheel straight. I knew we were going to flip before we did. I just felt it coming.
It's good to still be here. I am at home and on bed rest. But hurt so bad, I have to walk around some to try and stay loose.
Once again, thanks everyone for your well wishes. I have tears in my eyes while I am writing this. That was the most emotional accident that I have ever been in. Almost everyone I hit went to the hospital except for the first car that got clipped.
