News re MikeMan's totaled e90 and broken femur/hip

wj4 · 06-13-2007, 09:44 AM

I was just informed by Mike that he totaled his E90. Apparently he doesn't remember much, but enough to know there was a car who cut him off and was the cause of the accident. The car took off but there was a witness who saw the accident. He just remembers waking up in the hospital. The car is gone, and he is unable to walk for roughly 6 weeks due to a broken femur and hip. The car is replaceable, but the life of a human being is not.

Get better soon, Mike!

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to him.

Sheez the title makes it look like the guy bought the farm?? Anyway sorry to hear but as long as he's ok, that's what insurance is for.

Sorry for the lack of better title..

We think that the Bimmer possibly saved his life. He ended up crashing into a wall at 40-50 MPH and all bags deployed. This happened on the first Sunday of the month and he just got out of the hospital this morning.

Tell him get well soon. Not the first time a BMW saved someon'e life. Glad he's OK.

Thankfully, it appears that the man was not actually slaughtered.

No doubt the bimmer saved him. I've had the bad experience of being in an accident in a 745. I got T-boned by a car traveling over 60 mph at time of impact. It hit at the left rear tire and spun the car around about 450 degrees in the air......it spun fast enough for the front of the 7 to catch the side of the other car. I was completely unhurt besides a small abrasion below my left eye where the head protection bag got me. I can only wonder what it would have felt like when my head went through the side glass without the HPS system.

I've seen some completely destroyed bimmers from accidents that the driver and occupants simply walked away.

+1 This news sucks, but I was ready to feel even sadder. Hope you get well soon, MikeMan.

Best wishes to MikeMan, get well soon

tjnptel1 · 06-13-2007, 10:29 AM

wow. Best wishes to Mike. Hope all is well. Cars are indeed replaceable, but not life.

Mr. 5 · 06-13-2007, 10:32 AM

I dont' know the guy, but I hope he gets better soon.
My brother got in an accident with a driver who hit and run, but he was a little fortunate. The license plate of the other car broke off during the accident, so it wasn't that hard to find the guy.

Get better Mike!

HRC · 06-13-2007, 10:37 AM

Speedy recovery for MikeMan!

oh and +1 on changing the thread title, it really sounds like he's 6 ft under. The title sounds very morbid

ksfrogman · 06-13-2007, 10:44 AM

Yeah, maybe change to MikeMan Survives Horrible Crash in his E90, because it's "good news" he survived.

MikeMan, if/when you ever see this, best wishes. We're glad you're alive.

MoreCowbell · 06-13-2007, 10:55 AM

It's not "Sad News"..come on...the guy lived...I'd call it "Great News"!!!

I don't know you Mike, but feel better and get well soon.

And when you get back on the forum, we can start talking about the E92 that this guy's insurance company is going to buy you!!!

wj4 · 06-13-2007, 11:00 AM

Guys, I'd edit the thread title if I have that option. You can edit the post itself, but not the title.

Again sorry for the misleading title, I didn't really think about it as I made this thread the moment Mike informed me about it.

And he's already seen this thread.

He's at home now recuperating.

Kev · 06-13-2007, 11:02 AM

Life is all that matters because car is, well, just a car

Wish you a speedy recover, MikeMan.

longtran · 06-13-2007, 11:04 AM

mikeman, get well soon man.
