On january 4th this year i went to my cousins house, and he wanted to show his brother his new truck he only had for about 5-6 days. so we all hop in his single cab ford ranger, and we take of down the road. i usually trust peoples driving, but now i dont even trust myself.. we get down the road 2 miles and take a left on county road 2590 over by walters ok. he was going 45 when i looked at his speedometer but he topped a small hill on gravel and the truck got loose.. he then panicked and slammed the brakes the truck caught traction when the truck went towards the right, we then hit a bridge embankment with my side of the truck and flipped 4 and a half times end over end. the truck was demolished and the cab was crushed down on us. i was the only one that stayed awake, i broke my 1st and 2nd ribs on my right side and chipped a vertebrate in my neck and chipped one in my back, i also had stitches and lacerations all over the place. i was in the hospital for 4 days my cousin was in for a week. larry (his brother) broke his collar bone and got a concussion, nick broke his back, his neck, and cracked his pelvis. somehow were alive i dont know who was watching over us that day, but i thank the good lord everyday to be alive. somehow he gave me the smarts, and the strength to get out, and pull larry out of the truck.. nick (my cousin) had passed on scene begging me for help, but they were able to bring him back thankfully. if i wouldve been knocked out larry would have fallen off the steering wheel onto nicks head an finished him off.were 3 lucky guys, its something that we will always remember, well i will anyways they dont remember a thing. sorry i dont have the pictures to post on here theyre on facebook though.

Dang man. Glad yall are ok. Car wrecks are no joke. It doesn't take high speed to equal a bad wreck either. I had a cousin that watched his brother wreck and not make it out alive. Alot of my family are medics and first responders and what not. I always wear my seat belt. I've been in a couple of accidents but nothing major thank god.

well, what was crazy was the fact at 50 miles per hour we flipped like that, and i had taken my selt belt off right before to get my phone from behind the seat, but somehow were alive. I guess god wanted me to atleast catch a few more hogs or ride a couple more bulls before i went up there. sorry to hear that Georgia-Hawgs, and if i wouldve known i would have never took my seatbelt off. @colecross yes sir the lord does have his plan, thanks.

Its good to hear yaw are all ok.
U taking that belt off might have been GOD's way of saving yaw. By staying belted in, yaws heads coulda bounced off each other causing more trauma n knockin all yaw out and 1 of yaw not making it all. But regaurdless, yaw are ok and getting better by the day

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!
