What's up guys, I just got back from the hospital, I have been their since the 5th. I did some bone head driving and ending up with my car going air born into a forest at about 95 - 100 MPH. Below is the result of what my car looks like now. I had a seat belt on, but thank god it snapped at just the right time. I ended up ejected from the car, passed out for 20 minutes. I shattered my left leg bone right above the ankle, collapsed a lung, broke my sternum and got bruised and cut all over. My face only has a little scratch left on it. Right now I have a external metal brace drilled into my leg and I have a 4th leg surgery this Thursday. Other then that I am pretty much fully healed up minus some aches and pains... Anyways, I just wanted to share what happened since I still can't believe I am alive, let alone with pretty much only busted leg. I did not believe in God before, but now I do. This is not a joke, for any one thinking I found these pics or something.... People at the hospital call me the miracle child, the junk yard put a pic of this on the wall because it's the worst accident they have ever seen. BTW, the car lit on fire shortly after rescue got me out... Life goes on God bless!

I am 26 YO, I do thank god that I am alive and I feel that I am hear for a reason now. I was driving to fast around a corner and hit some ice and went off the road. I learned not to drive like that again, particularly when it is crappy out. I was going to get flown to the hospital by chopper but the weather was to bad. I still can't believe I am hear talking to you guys, let alone alive. How the heck did I live? I still don't get it, I say a angel took me out of the car. My dad say's it is like I won the power ball. I just saw these pics my self for the first time right before I posted, crazy!!

I would salvage the "C32" & "AMG" off the trunk and mount it to a plaque as a reminder of the car that saved my life.

It's a warning, anything can happen, when driving a car. You are incredibly lucky.

That car looks more like a 155MPH crash result.

Good luck and get well.

I just met a vendor of mine tonight at an office get together I have known him professionally for a long time.

He was telling me how much he loved to race and he did triple digits on the interstate everyday. He then took a beer bottle and hit his leg with it. Turns out his leg was a prothestic and he had it amputated as a result of a drag race.

Youre lucky you are alive cos if it were any other car, you'd still be in the hospital. I'm sorry about your C32.

you are so lucky, perhaps a good reminder that anything can happen and when you have so much power it usually does.

Not quite sure why you are driving in the winter type conditions with performance tires only good for the summer.

I would be best for you to not tempt fate again! Dude, you are one fortunate driver. Glad you're still with us.

When it's time to venture behind the wheel again, get yourself another Mercedes, and back 'er down a notch.

That is a life changing experience. Im at a loss for words, you have been given a gift, a second chance at life. Take some time off and start putting things in perspective...

on a side note is the car available to look at? Im in boston and think that seeing something like that live will hopefully scare the stupidness out of some people(namely me) What roads were you on?
