So sorry to hear about the accident. I hope you recover quickly.
I had a similar crash last week when the fender stay go caught in my front wheel and seized it. I went OTB, landed on my right shoulder, then my head. The result was a separated AC joint, some soft tissue damage, and a sprained thumb. Fortunately not the severe head trauma you experienced. I remember quite vividly thinking, Oh *****! And then crawling off the road, rolling onto the grassy boulevard.
Any sort of front end failure is catastrophic. This is what I think about all the time now, what else could fail up front?
