It was my cousin that got in the accident, and it WAS a silver 2000 Si-R. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries but has since been discharged. There were 2 other guys in his car, a total of 5 ppl. in the accident. That's all I know right now......

Hey Al,

I hope everything is ok with your cuz and his passengers.

Keep us posted. I'm curious to know how they can diagnose him with life threatening injuries but then release him a few hours later.

Any injury to the head is considered "life threatening" until it is looked at closer. I remember reading that on citybeat.

[shadowz]

Hope he gets better Al

First off, let me offer my thanks for all the kind words:) Secondly, I apologize for the long post:(
Update: Apparently my cousin (Civic) was going through the intersection on a green light and the van was attempting to make a left turn from the opposite side, before the Civic went through the intersection. Obviously it was a dreadful miscalculation. The van t-boned the Civic, on the driver's side, which in turn sent both vehicles crashing into light standards. They had to use the Jaws of Life to get my cousin out. As for his injuries, he needed alot of stitches, on top of sustaining a a broken/chipped bone in his shoulder, and pieces of glass embedded in his mouth, not to mention the mental anguish he went/is going through. Two of the other passsengers have been discharged, and the third is still in serious but stable condition. I now offer a question: A witness made an official statement to the po-po saying that the Civic had passed her prior to the accident, while SHE was doing the posted speed limit. This prompted the cops to give my cousin the "Driving with undue care and attention" ticket ($200 fine). In my opinion and from what I've heard from a cop, the person that is making a left-hand turn has to do so in a safe manner, meaning making sure that there is no oncoming traffic/pedestrians in the way. Am I right in thinking this or what?? :dunno:

[infamous]

yeah the person making a left hand turn has to do so in a safe manner...that is so unfair that your cus got a ticket....he should fight that shit because he wasn't driving with undue care and attention...he was driving and some retard t-boned him....fuck people like that piss me off :banghead:

[Davan]

I'd say the "undue care and attention" ticket could be fought and won easily.

An "eyewitness" is hardly a qualified individual to make an assesment of another drivers speed. Regardless what they judge their speed to be compared to the other driver.

[buh_buh]

if he was going straight, and he passed this woman doing the speed limit, how is that driving with undue care and attention? Isn't that just speeding?
And when I'm driving, I don't expect someone to make a left turn right in front of me, so I don't understand why that is driving with undue care and attention. :dunno:

[TomTom]

that turns kinda uphill a little bit and with ice the lady should'a gave herself some extra time too, what about the saturn? i seen that in there with a little damage?
when i went by it actually gave me chills cause they were cutting it apart, good thing hes allright
and was the car 100% writeoff?

[92 Teg-B18A]

sorry to hear about your cousin Al, hopefully he can recover quickly! :)

[HRD2PLZ]

Hope your cousin and all his passengers are fine Al. And yes, Undue Care and Attention can be fought and won easily :angel:
I don't they should have charged him either, but lately its seems at every accident somebody gets charged with something...
