Bmw compact crash


I had an accident on 27 May 2006 (the camera date is a bit out) on the highway just outside of Pretoria (South Africa) at ± 19:00pm.i was driving a BMW 118ti compact with only my dog a miniture toy pom.My wife luckily was not in the car or otherwise she would have been killed.i came over a blind rise at ± 120 km/ph.in front of me there a whole lot of cows.the car in front of me hit a cow and threw the cow over his car landing the cow in the road on its side with the cows back facing me.i hit the cow head on forcing the engine underneath the car, causing the car to flip head over heals ± 2/3 times.

The car then rolled ± 5/6 times till it eventually slid to a stop on its roof on the grass meridian ± 120/150m from where i hit the cow.I found myself upside down with my legs in the drivers side and the rest of my body on the passengers side.I managed to squezee through the window of the car in fear that it would explode or that some one else would drive into me as it was night time.The traffic officials and towing services and paramedics at the scene of the accident thought i was dead and were discussing amongst themselves and the people that were standing around my car that the guy in the BMW is probably dead.Till i eventually had to let them know that i was the driver of the BMW.My dog was unfortunatly killed in the accident,we found him near where i struck the cow.We think he was ejected out of the car when it began to roll.I was wearing my seatbelt (if i was not i would have been thrown out of the car as well) and all the airbags did come out.

I tore all the muscles in me shoulders and neck and back.i also tore muscles in my hand,wrists and knees.alot of brusing and cuts.i also hit my head quite hard.i still suffer alot of pain especially when using my arms for various activities.Luckily no broken bones.My chest & face took quite a smack aswell from the airbags (powder burns on face) my wrists also took a knock from the initial impact when i hit the cow.Just very lucky to be alive.
