There I was trying to drive to work at 4:30 in the morning. This dude ran right over me. I was unconscious but witnesses told me that myself and the bike were wedged under his truck lifting up the rear end. Dude was trying to gas it and when he couldn't move, he got out of his truck and popped his hood thinking he had broke down. When people at the scene told him he had run over someone he started  trying to pull my bike out from under his truck so he could get away. Apparently I died under that truck with a ripped aorta artery and collapsed lungs. Medics arrived on sene and popped a chest tube in. I know I received a bunch of blood and was brought back. Then I was life flighted to Vanderbilt trauma center where they performed heart surgery. I broke several bones as well but the list is rather exhaustive so I'm not going into details. I was wearing a shoei helmet and an Aerostich R3 riding suit with full pads. I am almost certain that suit and helmet combo saved my life. I've got a long road to recovery but I'm thankful to be around for my wife and four year old daughter. Aerostich sent me a new more visible suite and 3 months later I'm back to riding again. Be careful out there y'all, and wear your gear. 

Got ran over by a drunk driver who ran a red light and merged into oncoming traffic while I was sitting at a stop light.
