I was coming up a hill and couldn’t see over it; there was a person turning left with no blinker and I couldn’t react in time. Head on collision. I don’t know how I walked away alive. I was able to go home that night. I have whiplash and that’s the worst of it. I was wearing my seatbelt. The other people are okay as well, they decided to go to the hospital. Their vehicle didn’t roll thankfully. I’m very happy to be alive. I still have the 5 speed so I’m not out on transportation thankfully.

Without knowing all of the details, it's never a bad idea to go to your doctor if you have even the slightest pain somewhere. Having everything on record might be very helpful regarding future health issues, insurance, etc.. My wife was hit head-on about 15 years ago and the minor aches and pains she initially had developed later into lifelong debilitating health issues. The driver of the other car was unlicensed, uninsured, and driving someone else's car. We also learned the importance of having adequate uninsured motorist coverage on our insurance (MI is a no-fault state).

Thank goodness you came out of this o.k.. Think of the possibilities.
