So about 7 hours ago I was having a nice day out with my dad and we decided to get lunch. This would turn out to be probably the worst idea I have had in a long time... We ate, the food was great and started heading back to the house. About 5 minutes after we got stopped at a light, I took my seatbelt off to get my zt out of my back pocket to show my dad and ended up putting it in my FRP. As we pulled off (before I could get my seatbelt on) all I heard was a horn... I woke up to a smoke filled car, a broken windshield, another car blocking my door, and pain all over. I turned to my dad to make sure he was ok and told him to get out of the car if he could because the airbag chemicals filled the car and I smelled something burning. After a trip to the hospital, 6 hours on a backboard in a neck brace I went home. I undressed to see if I was bruised anywhere and noticed that the door hit me so hard the top inch or so of my ZT560 tore/bruised my leg! I tried taking photos but its an awkward angle to capture.

So now for what happened:
We got a green light pulled out and got T-boned by a woman in a Lexus Gs430 (which is pretty heavy). She was going roughly 50mph and witness reports say she didnt even hit her brakes when she ran the red light. We got hit so hard we spun a 180˚ across 2 lanes and hit another driver. I slammed my head against the window and knocked out. My dad got the worst of it, he is a "professional" musician and has made a great life for himself through a successful career. He dislocated his elbow and stretched his ligaments and tendons pretty bad. He also got various cuts and bumps. We both are lucky and ok.

Sorry if any of this is unclear, I took a good hit to the head. I just thought I would share about my zt getting me pretty good

Edit: I managed to get this photo

Dang dude, hope you and your dad are alright. On the bright side though, you and that 560 are now bonded, and you can never sell it off
 
I've seen people never wake up from wrecks a lot smaller/ slower than yours. Thank God y"all are all right. I'm glad your still here. :)
 
Bummer dude glad your OK. People always run red lights these days which is why when my red turns to green I look both ways before I proceed.

I hope you and your dad get to feeling better soon. I am glad it was not any worst.
 
Im glad you're doing well enough to want to post about it. I hope this doesn't impair your dad's ability to play long term. My BIL play music for a living and he's always afraid something will happen to him to keep him from playing.

Wow...I'm glad you are here to post about what happened and hoping you and your Dad are ok.
 
Glad you are okay. I was hit a few years ago and blacked out. Having several minutes forcibly erased from your memory with a hard reset is a scary thing. I'm not a big drinker and the only other time I've blacked out was after taking a big hit in a game of ice hockey.

Really good that this didn't turn out worse. Hope all the bruises heal up quickly and the insurance process isn't more painful than the accident. Take care and get well.
 
great that you're both ok. i had something similar happen a couple years ago. scary stuff...
 
Glad to hear you guys are OK! Hope you both heal up quick...........too bad that ZT is so tough, it put the hurt on ya!;)
 
I almost got T-boned a few days ago by a woman who was on the phone while driving. I really felt like driving after her so i could smash her windows and scream at her....people who drive reckless like this put other peoples lives at risk and people die daily because of stupid people like this!!
Hope you guys get better soon!
