Oh man, scary stuff. I guess it's true, no good deed goes unpunished.

I remember a friend of mine in high school got hit by a car. He was crossing the street at a cross walk and some woman ran a stop sign and slammed into him. He apparently went flying a ways across the intersection before landing on the concrete. He somehow only ended up with a few scratches and bruises amazingly. None of us could believe it.

People need to be more careful

I-10, 101 or 60? I lost an ex GF on mine on the 101 to a drunk driver who slammed into them while they were stopped in the median, died instantly. Glad to hear you're ok, the medians on the major freeways here are insane.

Aren't some people so ridiculously stupid? I was hit by a car while I was riding my bike a few years back. Claims I "came out of nowhere" and didn't have the decency to look 30 feet ahead of him for bikes in one of the heaviest bike commuting cities. Damn near head on. Dealing with lawyers is such a pain.

Hope things turn out for the best.

Wow, what a story

Hope you recover soon! If need be, you should just take a semester off of school to rest...

that's why AZ passed the law there you have to either change lanes or SLOW THE EFF down. dipshit drivers on their phones not only clog up traffic, but eff people over.

i'm sorry to hear you got injured. hopefully you don't get stuck with bills. gl with the recovery man.

Man, you're lucky. And you were smart enough to go on the passenger side as well too and still got hit! I hope your insurance or you are suing the fuck out of that idiot to cover your bills, because you've got to be negligent as fuck to hit a car on the shoulder like that. ICU ain't cheap at all.

I really do hope you recover nicely.... it is such bullshit that you decided to do the right thing and got punished for it. Such a shame this had to happen..

That's pretty crazy, hope you get better!

Kinda unexpected for that to happen when you're helping someone out but I guess it's good that you have only minimal injuries because it could be a lot worse when you think of what could have happened when you get hit by a truck

Terrible. I was also hit by a car once but I was fortunate enough to only suffer bone fracture on my leg. Can't even imagine what your symptoms feel like. I sincerely hope you get better, bloody stupid drivers...
