On our way to OK me and my family got in a head on collision. We were on the highway and another car hit us head on and the semi behind us flipped. We were all taken back into NM to the hospital. The kids are mainly bruised up from the seatbelts and Shaolin has whiplash. The airbag on my side ended up hitting me in the chest and bruising it. My whole left side is bruised up and I have a cracked rib and my bladder is swollen. The radio ended up landing on my left leg but other than that I am doing ok. My husband was hurt very badly though. His seatbelt never locked up and the airbag didn't open all the way so his face went thru the windshield. After being in a tiny hospital in the middle of nowhere Jays family came to get us and take us into OK. Jay is going back into the hospital and has to have reconstructive surgery to his face. He is having trouble breathing and his face is pretty smashed up.
The car is completely totaled and we are not even sure how we will get back or what to even do now. We were told we were very lucky to make it out alive. Please pray for all of us. Everyone from his Unit that has called has been very nice and helpful and I am greatful to them for being there for us.
For anyone that is traveling please very careful, you never know when things can go wrong out of nowhere.
We were coming up I-40 and there was a car in the highway facing us, the roads had a patch of ice that no one saw. The Semi behind us jack knifed and rolled then we tried to swerve to miss the car that was facing us head on but the ice didn't allow it. We slid and hit head on. The lady in the car tried to drive off and then finally got in the median. SHe got out and got her dog and started walking. By this time the cops showed up and I saw her get in the car with them. She never once looked our way. We found out that right after the accident she called and filed a claim saying she wanted us to get her car fixed immediatly. Needless to say I am pissed about that. She was the one in the wrong lane facing oncoming traffic. She didn't even see if anyone of us were ok.
the airbag didn't work properly and the seatbelt never locked up, so we will be contacting Dodge about that.
Hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas. Talk to you all soon.
