Just out of curiosity, what's the last thing you do remember? Did liquor, speed or exhaustion factor into this at all, cause looking at those tire marks in the grass, you travelled a long way before finally impacting with the tractor.
Exhaustion probably had a big role I wasn't speeding cause I knew of the deer in the area and was actually being extra cautious. The grass was wet due to a resent rain and the pics make the distance look farther than it was.

Glad you're ok too.

The way the trees uprooted, ground must be pretty soft. Glad you hit a tree instead of the John Deere!

Wow, sorry to hear about it. If they say you need physical therapy don't try and be a tough guy and walk away from it. Do it, it works. PT got me to walk again after my accident in January. You have a long road ahead, but always take the time to remember how far you've come.

I am glad you are OK! Did you have side air bags?

Good luck and a speedy recovery !

I know how you feel, I totalled a BMW M3 five years ago (accident caused by black ice), broke a vertebrae, pulled my left arm ligaments and had tons of cuts and bruises.
It sucks, but you are still alive and that's what's important !

wow that's crazy! Glad you're okay, but I'm curious about the side airbags as well. Did you have them? Anything extra safety wise, I'd always throw the extra moeny for it. When my sister bought her '05 Grand Cherokee, I convinced her to spend the extra $$ for the side airbags. Same principle said above applies... the $400 extra dollars for side airbags is totally worth it if it saved your life!

Wish you a speedy recovery!!

Sorry to hear about the accident and I hope you feel better soon. To me it seems like you fell asleep at the wheel. I hope you decide to buy a new stang since it looked like it held up pretty good for hitting two trees and a tractor.

Thanks for all the nice comments, I need all the help I can get right now so please keep the prayers coming! Actually the car did not have side air bags but that will be an option that I will defainatly have on my next Mustang. I am still in a lot of pain but getting better as I work my arm and hand more and more everyday, the Doc says he will give it 6 months before he trys anything else after that he will do PT then surgury if that doesn't work so I am hopeing I am functional soon. Again thanks to all.
