alanhinkel > It looks much worse in person.This was my first car.My brother was borrowing it that day.This is a 1989 Honda Accord.This picture was taken after the car was turned back over,after being flipped from the wreck on August 20,1991.The car that struck it was going between 75-80 mph(according to police re-creation)My brother was turning north on to Westwood st.after going east on Beach Blvd.The other car was traveling east on Beach Blvd.at a high rate of speed.When the driver of the Dodge(Troy Mathis),also traveling east, realized he couldn't stop behind the two cars behind my brother,he tried to go around them,and hit my brothers car as my brother was turning on to Westwood st.My brother had his seatbelt on,and was hanging upside down in the car before paramedics cut him down.He also had his turn signal on(according to Pascagoula Police Officers).My brothers injuries were traumatic and life changing.He had a broken pelvis,lacerated spleen and liver,blood clot in the brain,and was rendered quadrapelegic due to a spinal cord injury at the 6th thoracic vertabrea.He passed away February 28,1998 as a result of this wreck.The driver of the other car had a knee injury,spent one night in juvenile hall,and recieved a 300 dollar fine.
alanhinkel > The 1989 Honda Accord my brother(Phillip Anthony Hinkel) was in after a 16 yr. old boy(Troy Mathis) hit him in the drivers side at speeds in excess of 75 mph.The Accord was drug sideways 200 feet,then hit a street sign and flipped.My brother hung upside down in the car by his seatbelt until being cut down by paramedics.I believe he either would have died or gotten a lot better if he hadn't been wearing it.The seatbelt caused the liver and spleen injuries and caused irreversible brain damage by cutting his oxygen supply off ,by the blood and vomit in his airway, while hanging upside down.He was in a coma for 4 months,suffered traumatic brain, back,liver,spleen injuries,broken pelvis,and gasoline burns on his body.The injuries he recieved rendered him brain damaged and quadrapalegic 0n August 21,1991.He spent 10 months in Singing River Hospital,mostly in the Neuro intensive care unit for seven months,then Tuoro hospital in New Orleans for rehabilitation for 3 months.He passed away as a result of these injuries on February 28,1998.The driver of the other car had knee surgery,spent one night in juvenile hall,recieved a 300 dollar fine,and had his license revoked until age 21.Not to long ago I recieved a ticket from the Pascagoula Police Dept. for my radio being up to loud at the same intersection.I was fined 300 dollars(now it is a thousand dollars for 1st offense,and jail time for second offense.Maybe it's just me,but that doesnt sound quite fair,but life isn't fair I guess.
