Floriduh Voter had a serious car accident this afternoon on 66th St. by Hospice and is lucky to be alive. FV's car went airborne after being hit and there were no brakes. She flew north onto a median and the car wouldn't stop - something told her to put the car in park and to take the key out. FV ended up in southward oncoming traffic facing north. Good Samaritans directed traffic around her car. (FV lost downforce when the impact took out the back windshield). The guy who hit FV was a half block south with the cops and paramedics. FV travelled a half a block, sometimes in mid-air. It was a miracle. Her car didn't make it but FV's going to take it easy for awhile. She REFUSED to sign a Living Will at the er. That was the first document shoved in her face.
For those following Terri Schiavo stories, this is very near the Hospice where Terri died.
I have no details whatsoever at this time except what I included here, will just add them if I get them or others as it comes in. FV could sure use some prayers and support.

Thank you on behalf of FV.

Ya can't have to much ammo.
Prayers for FV.
The Lord be with Floriduh Voter

Thank you on behalf of FV.
I guess you will just have to wait for Floriduh Voter to get back on-line to get the details of the car accident. She indicated to me that she was going to be taking pain medicine and having been in a few car accidents myself, sometimes the pain hits you later.
She obviously wasn't in the hospital anymore when she sent me the message.
8mm was just trying to let everyone know what happened and to ask for prayers for FV.
Where I come from, the media only reports the accidents that result in a fatality. Injury accidents only make the news if there has been some sort of toxic spill associated with it. Thank God the media hasn't found it newsworthy to talk about each and every accident that happens on a daily (or nearly daily) basis.
Do you realize how boring you are??
Welcome back!
Great to "see" you again.
"She REFUSED to sign a Living Will at the er. That was the first document shoved in her face."
I STILL can't get over this.
How many people are in pain, groggy, or in shock, and just sign ANYTHING, because they don't realize what they are doing.
Where I come from the online newspapers and tv stations most certainly do report every accident. Our newspaper online has a traffic cam link and traffic incident update meaning any and all accidents.
As to the area in question, here's The St. Petersburg Times. If the accident happened the way it was described here it would have made the papers. Vehicle going airborne, put in park and keys pulled out and miraculous survival, other vehicle allegedly involved half a block away? Cops and paramedics were supposedly on the scene per the opening description on this very thread. You betcha it'd make the news.
I can't wait!
I STILL can't get over this.
Relax and get over it. It did not happen.
That is three more bumps in a row for our thread. And it is humorous as well.
