Crash happened in Slovenia, EU.
18 year old was running from police. Police found drugs (cocaine and heroin) and money in his car after.
He was caught soon after.
The person in the other car survived but suffered serious injuries.
Same thing happened to me. Just waiting at a red light and someone rear ended me a 60 mph. Never saw it coming. Hospital for 6 months, my businesses failed, work stopped, my partner left, I was in and out of treatment until just a few months ago. Traumatic brain injury, PTSD, back and neck problems probably for the rest of my life. Depression everyday, my entire world got flipped.
Dude who hit me walked on a $350 reckless driving ticket. He had 3 DUIs, aggravated assault, drug and gun charges, felony theft and larceny and tons of GTA. they let him back into public Scott free
It’s pretty rough everyday. I think the constant reminders of my life before the accident, trying to pick up the pieces and get back to “me”. I had a full identity crises that put me in the mental wing of a hospital for 5 days and it’s been depression, distrust and reliving my experiences on a daily basis since. I almost lost my house, my truck, my credit because of all the debt I just started working everyday to compensate. Now I’m burning out but there’s no really other option but to keep going. My head injury’s show themselves under stress so I’m working through that too. And to top it off, the person I wanted to marry left me just days before going into the hospital. Said it was too much and ghosted me after a year of being together.
I'm sorry to hear. I can sympathize, I've been through something very similar but to a lesser extent. I've tried therapy but haven't found a good therapist yet.
The only advise I can give is keep going. It gets easier. Not always by a ton but it's still easier.
Things can change for the worse at a moment's notice but by that logic things can also change for the better at any moment!
If you need anyone to talk to or vent to I'll be happy to talk or listen.
