And it was just bouncing, bump, bump, bump.

And then the railroad tracks coming on the highway, bump, bump.

It was just as I hit the highway.

that went off and it went through my hip the cheek part and out my tailbone a quarter inch out and um uh my leg shot out just stiff as a board just just totally stiffly it was like it was made out of wood you know on the accelerator

And I'm heading down the highway and this car is going brake neck speed, going faster and faster.

And I got both hands trying to pull my leg off the accelerator.

I couldn't, it just would not come.

I was pulling, I'm pulling, pulling.

Now, instead of steering with my elbow, I've already got a hand on the steering wheel.

And so I'm steering, trying to keep it on the highway and I'm grabbing the cloth on my pant leg and pulling, trying to get my foot off the accelerator.

And we're going 120 and we're going down the highway and my cousin jumped out right away.

He knew something was dreadful.

But then the shock came out and I was able to pull it off the accelerator.

And so we pulled off to the edge down there.

and got it out of gear.

And I just sat there.

And I knew this was significant.

And before I knew it, my two uncles ran over.

They found out what happened.

They ran over.
