In a pretty bad accident today..

So today, My girlfriend, her best friend, her little brother, and I were down outside of osky trying to find the animal rescue league because they have a puppy we are thinking about adopting.. This place is out in BFE and GPS took us to the wrong area. So we called them and had a lady from the ARL come out and get us and we followed her back. Just turning on to the last gravel road about 100yds from the ARL it was about a 45 degree left hand turn not the typical 90 where you have to come to a complete stop, the van had already made the turn and we were slowing down for it then SLAM!... The van cut off a cavalier coming up the hill and he tryed to avoid hitting the van by swerving into the other lane and hit us head on. Everyone estamated the speed he was traveling at about 60mph.. No one in our Jeep was seriously hurt, just a few seat belt and airbag burns. However his seatbelt did not lock and he stuck his head in the windshield. He was concious but unresponsive after the accident. I ran over and shut his car off and tried asking how he was doing. He just stared straight ahead. We all went back to the hospital and he checked out about an hour after being looked at. Anyways, enough rambling here are the pics








This is me, I got the worst out of it in our vehicle.. A few scrapes and bruised my nose and lip up

I don't get how that Cavalier got on your side of the road. Maybe I can't follow the story right. YOu were in the Jeep and someone else was in the Cavy, I'm assuming you were making a RIGHT hand turn and not a left?

There was a left hand turn the van in front of us took, crossing his lane. well he swerved to miss the van and slid across the road into our lane. Keep in mind this is all on gravel. Thats how he ended up in our line

I have no idea.. honestly I think it may have been the 2.8 v6.. either that or a four cylinder of some kind.. I dont know my early gen Cavis too well

Thank you all! Everyone is still doing fine.. A little more sore today though.. but we will make it!

I think he was saying that because the entire front end of the Cav is pwned...
