Rough Day
 

Well...this happened today as I was driving to get lunch on my lunch break. Someone turned into my lane, trying to turn into a shop just off of the road. To avoid hitting him head on, going 55mph, I swerved around him, trying to drive in the middle lane where the guy causing the accident was turning from. His front passenger bumper clipped the rear passenger side of the Z, and sent me sliding into oncoming traffic, where I was ultimately stopped by slamming into a Volkswagen Jetta, head on.

I am upset, and the only reason I didn't wait until tomorrow to post this is because I can't sleep. Had to get some stitches in my knee, and I'm banged up pretty bad. However, I realize how lucky I am, considering the speed limit on the road where the accident happened is 55mph. I estimate that I, as well as the other car involved in the head on, were still going approximately 50mph when this happened. Also very lucky that the guy that caused the accident, admitted fault, and he was the only one given a ticket out of the 3 involved.

Hope these pics don't hurt you guys as much as they hurt me. I may have more tomorrow, these were all I could get before being taken away in the ambulance.

Icing on the cake...I made my car payment this morning...

Wow, I'm very sorry to hear but I'm glad to see your'e Ok to some extent.

Omg! Glad you're basically ok and are able to post here, omg. I'm sure youre heartsick as well...ugh :-(

Wow, thank goodness your physical injuries weren't worse at those speeds!!! Hopefully you're up and about quickly and I hope the insurance companies involved, compensate you fairly for your Z!

Sorry about the accident. Glad you are OK 'cause it could have been worse. Heal up and get another one.

Sorry to hear about that crash, but very glad you walked away from it. Hopefully the guy's insurance will get you back in a Z soon!

sounds like your lucky to be alive! sorry about the Z!

Wow, that's hard to look at. Glad your able to walk away and hope things get back to 100%.
On a side note, I don't know if it's me or not but I've noticed from this forum there have been numerous accidents involving the Z and for the majority of the time significantly damaged. I've been part of many forums but have never seen so many accidents reported. I recall numerous threads where people have been hit, or even lost control while no one was around and got severe damage. It's just quite odd to see so many and frequent accidents on the forum. Is the Z an accident magnet?

Man, that sucks, but it could have been alot worse. Just remember, the car is replaceable.

Judging from these pics, yeah the front end is trashed but the cabin seems pretty intact. The Z definately helped save your life.

Wow, there really isnt that much damage taking in the fact that both you, and the jetta were going 50mph. Thats 100mph of force! Cars are ALWAYS replaceable people's lives are not. Take a couple days off work if you can and relax. Im sure everyone here is just glad that your still alive man. Take this negative and turn it into a positive, come back bigger and better with a pearl white nismo or a 40th. Keep us posted on your condition and insurance status. Get well soon bud

Ouch. Very sorry to see. Glad you're alright, though. It could have been much worse. How's the Jetta driver doing?

Also good that the turning guy manned up and admitted fault... that makes it a lot easier!

Ouch, get well soon! :(

I am glad you are OK. The Z does not look so good.

Happy to hear that you are ok. Sad to see the Z is not ok. Try to get some rest.
