I was not wearing a seatbelt. In fact we did not have very far to go and were not far from where we started. My boyfriend was following me in his mustang. I have been told considering that I don't remember any of it besides grass and then impact. My boyfriend said he saw the brake lights go on and then the car went up in the air, went end over end three times and ejected me from the passenger window and landed on top of me. I woke up underneath the car staring up at the stars in the sky. I could hear my now husband calling me. He said he stepped on my hand but I do not remember that. I only remember hearing him talking and surmised that I must have had an accident and that it was the car that I was pinned under. Somehow I thought that knowing what was on me would make it possible to get it off. It did not. the volunteer fire department got the car off me and mercy flight took me to the hospital. my husband almost beat them there. I was lucky. I only sustained a broken leg and had glass along the side of my head that went through the glass and in my knuckles. I got thrown around in the car pretty good too before it spit me out because I had bruises all over my legs from the shifter.

I was not wearing a seatbelt. By all rights I probably should have been dead.
