People often try to get to the hospital when they know they're crashing.
I will say that, anecdotes what they are, a friend got a concussion in 1992 in a mild soccer collision but seemed fine; but they think it contributed to his later accident with his car, as the stress and constant awareness required for driving caused a near blackout where he wasn't able to stop the car in time before he lost focus. And, on the highway, it can be a few seconds to stop properly, and he just didn't have enough time. He saved for years to buy a beautiful car, too, and it was all gone. Thankfully he survived and lived until covid.
Man, what a roller coaster of a story. Glad he made it out of that wreck okay at least.
Can't tell if he was lucky or unlucky.
Unlucky.
Dying from covid has to suck. It was shitty enough when. I managed to fight it off post vaccine I don't want to imagine how painful it would be to have a lethal case of it.
That plus life post covid is pretty nice. There's a lot of bad but feels like there's more good than bad when we go out and seize the day a bit
