I swerved to avoid a girl in a Jeep Wrangler, who was talking on the cell phone, and ran through a stop sign. I wound up upside down in a 7 ft. deep agricultural ditch...and got a scratch on my knee while extricating myself.

Insurance payoff helped get a newer Forester.

Sad to say but he was not able to get another subi, he now drives a civic hybrid.

Just curious, how is the gf now? Since you said this happened last Oct...just want to see if the extent of injuries has had a severe effect on her.

His gf had some serious fractures to her face wich permanatley damaged one of her eyes, she will never be able to see the same. I know she had a pelvic fracture as well and went through alot of physical therapy, but the last time I saw her she was walking good.
