So my weekend plans changed slightly on Thursday...

riding home from class on my bicycle.. probably going 25-30mph, but I can't remember, this car pulls out in front of me. of course I don't really remember any of this because I was knocked unconcious but I remember starting to get my wits about me when I was having X-rays (had two have two chest xrays because my lungs "were so big" according to the technician) and a cat scan done.

Some 54 year old woman pulls out in front of me because she didn't see me, sort of a blind spot where she was, she was expecting cars, but I was wearing bright yellow clothing. anyway... cop said I ended up 40 feet away from the impact spot.

luckily I don't have any broken bones or anything (I do have a chipped tooth though). face is pretty raw from road rash, and my shoulder, and both knees.

the cop said there were about 50 people standing around with cell phones calling 911 (they flooded the dispatch center) and that the campus emergency phone was list up.

my roommate said that she talked to one of her friends that drove by and saw my bike and juding from my bike thought the person on it was dead.

yeah so now I have a bike that's in two pieces, the top tube and down tube broke in to. I figured that it would have broken at the welds... no they're broken about 1/4 of the way down the tubes. looks like a soda can that was just ripped apart. I'll hopefully get some pics up here soon for anyone that wants to see the damage, maybe I'll be able to get a few pics of my face too, which surprisling doesn't look so bad

they wanted to keep me for observation at the hospital overnight

she had insurance and the cop said that it was her fault.. "failure to yield" so hopefully i can get all my hospital bills and bike paid for without having to sue

luckily I'm alive, probably thanks to a helmet... kinda feel like I got hit by a car or something though so I'm gonna go take it easy
