please pray...

[Nebraska240sx]

this has been one of the hardest nigths of my life.

so let me begin.

I live in south central nebraska. not the place u would expect to find respectable imports, just rice. but a few of the guys and i got a minor car club going. not racing just cars. weve got all types of stuff. suv's on 20's and turbo integras, to 76 fir3birds, to 89 vettes. tuesday nights we have a little meeting/get together, and then go cruize till about 12. Ill list just the people involved for tonight. Please no flaming, this is very touchy tongiht.

my man ben was driving the civic. 4 door painted kitted, and swaped to a H22a supercharged. 400+hp with mods. and mattt, in the 89 vette stock. drew in the 98 prelude kitted and painted with minor mods, and nos. me in the bravada. see signature. brian in the 64 impala with a 327 crate motor in it. brock in the 79 cutlass, with a 400 small block. tims i his gsr... to much to talk about there. and my best freind kyle. i the talon 95 tsi, with 14k in mods. yes 14k. dont hate...

we were all out crusing, and we got to the busiest intersection in the ciy here (30k people so its a good sized intersection) at just before 10 tonight,

we were waiting at the light, i was in the middle of the pask. kyle right behind me. ben leading and the rest just taging along. we were heading to get food. hadent decided where yet. but were getting to it. we were in the turn lane. there was a cop in the oppisite lane going the oppisite direction. we began to proceed as the light turned green.

i begin to turn, suddenly out of the corner of my eye i see this 3. ton UPRR (union pacific rail raod) work truck come barreling through the intersection right at me. i gun it and he misses me.

then the unthinkable happens. tires screach adn there is the loudest crash i have ever heard.

a 3 ton truck at 60+mph split my best freinds talon in to two totaally spereate un connected pieces. kyle had his seat belt on, i d k if that helped him or not but still. i stoppped asap. and ran over to check on him. the cop as already there. my best friend has lost his legs permantly, they were crushed. the rushed him to the er, in the cop car, which was only 4 blocks away. i held kyle till they wouldnt let me any more at teh hospital. then the driver of the truck arrived. not for injuries. for a bac test.

his blood came up with more hits than a crack house. .34 bac. tested for drugs pot pcp aicd shrooms, and herion.

teh guy driving had no insurance a stolen truck, revoked licince for dui. I wanted to kill him. i still do. but what hurts the most was the last thing that *** hole said to me as he went through the doors to be tested. I quote him to the word. "if u damn kids werent raacing like on all those damn games, i would have misses him." they think he may not make it throught tonight. please pray, power is in numbers. please. for the love of another car guy. pray, for the love of another import freak pray. please pray for kyle...

im leaving for the hospital, again so ill try to get back asap. but thanks in advance for the prayers that u said.

[Touchdown038]

That's horrible.... I'm sorry.

Yet another drunk driving story.

I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say our prayers will be with him.

[dave_id]

that sux! I almost got T-boned when i just got my S14 cuz this dumb biatch in a van ran a red light. luckily i didnt get hit...Dude i would sock that guy in the face so hard his face would have a print of my fist.

[574-240sx]

I'm sorry to hear about that. That racing thing is just an excuse for the truck driver. He may tell that to him self but nobody buys that when he had been drinking. He can tell that to him self but its not going to help him sleep and better. Hope your friend hangs in there. Keep us posted on his condition. Nick

[Nismo31]

im really sorry dude, i feel ur pain, ive lost a cousin to drunk driving. he was like a brother to me..hope all is well..kkeep us informed

[Mr1der]

god that's horrible, killing the guy won't solve anything, but it'd free up some air for the rest of it, he sure as hell doesn't need it.

best wishes to your friend and that one day he'll be able to drive again.

[offtheline]

Im so sorry to hear that. I would want to kill the guy too... problem is that being in that situation and going through what you were going through at the hospital... i would have tried.

I said a prayer for your friend. I hope it all works out for you guys.

[Nebraska240sx]

heres an update.

they have got him on life support at the moment. he is listed as critical but stable. the doctor came to talk to us (the guys that were out with him) told us kyle will never walk again. not without major assistince. the guys from the truck is in county lock up. not getting out either. the judge gave him no oprotunity for bail.

id also post a pic of kyles talon if someone would host it for me. its the car in mint condition, ill try to go take pics of the wreck, if i can.

its been a long night, and morning at that point. about half the guys that were with us are under 18, and is high school still. so most of them have missed school, and the rest of the guys from the club, have started showing up to wait and try to see him. we are now trying to take turns waiting since the police have told us more than once that we need to clear out a little bit.

but whats a laugh for us it that the parking lot outside the hospital looks like a amature car show. theres about 25 cars out there, that are modded. and then the rest of them are normal cars through the parking lot. but weve got alomost a whole row to ourselves.

i still ask for people to pray, and the more the better... ill keep it posted whas happening.

pray for kyle...

[AZhitman]

My prayers are with Kyle and your whole crew.

Stick together, and lift each other up - Miracles can happen.

[90Q45blue]

My prayers go out to you and Kyle and all your friends.

Ditto. Sorry to hear about your friend. I cant believe what an azshole the guy who hit him was. I dont know how you controlled yourself at the hospital, if it was one of my friends that had been hurt and thats the response the person responsible for it had came up with...... I dont even want to think about it.... Definetly be in my prayers

[TurboKA37]

i think i would had attacked the guy right there at the hostpital if he said that to me.sorry about what happened. you can always upload the pics on NICO's ride section.

[I30T]

Sorry to hear that.

He'll get his someday, you're a bigger person for not being a part of that.

[UncleBen]

Holy s*** man, i'm so sorry about this. Makes me feel so bad, for real. I know how it is to loose a best friend, honestly I do. Crap dude I dont know what to say....I'm kinda in shock, I mean what woudl I do in a situation like that? That truck driver would be in the hospital with him most likely. Ahhhh crap, i'll pray dude.

[GEO]

**** like this makes me enjoy every second of my healthy life... God be with him

I feel for you man, honestly. I do not pray much but tonight I am going to for Kyle. Let whatever hope we can bring to him happen. I am so sorry to hear he will not be able to walk. but honestly what is just words. My grandmother had throat cancer and was said that she will never speak again. that was long ago and now today, she talks so much we cant get her to shutup. I dont really have a belief but tonite, i will pray for Kyle. Would You mind Posting an address for us to send him a get better card or anything? I bet that would be alot to him for other car fans to send him a card. I know I want to.

I will definitely pray for your buddy. I am saddens to hear about his story.

While everyone is at it, please pray for my month old niece, Grace. She is undergoing some testing for her liver. She currently has jaundice and it appears that she will have to have a liver transplant. My sister and mother are worried to death about her condition. She is the one on the right in this picture.

I think this has to be the worse Holidays I have had in a long time.

[TurboKA37]

i agree, too many people with serious problems with loved ones. nabraska240sx, cold zero, and jbanach77 all have either friends or family members with serious conditions. makes me sad

[Get240DiZzY]

Both you and your posse, Nebraska240sx, and Cold_Zero, your niece and her family, as well as you, will be in my prayers.

I can't say I have a personal expieriance with either of these, but I can't even imagine losing somebody I love dearly, or having them perminantly hurt, as the case may be. Both of you keep us posted on the states of the "prayees".

Good luck and God bless.

[Altiman94]

real sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he's ok.

[milo]

that ****er should be shot.

[krazy skwerel]

My prayers go out to all the NICO folks in need. This is really sad.

[Megaseth]

sorry to hear about that man. its a real shame that some ******* decided to get ****ed up and then go driving a 3 ton truck and hit your friend. like the others said, i dont think i could have been the bigger man and let him go. i would have jumped at him and probably gotten myself thrown in jail as well. im christian, but i dont pray all that much. but you're friend as well as cold_zero and jbanach77 will be in my prayers. i hope everyone gets better to enjoy the holidays with their families.

I am truly sorry and my condolenses on everything, I DO understand what you are going through. I don't know if you remember or not but last december my friend was in a horrible accident where he was rear ended by a cement truck. He was driving his 2001 Roush GT. It was totally desimated, he crushed his vertabrae and they thought he would end up a parapalegic, but with a mircacle surgery, he is now walking and playing sports already. What I am trying to say is, he was in the same condition as your friend, and he is now walking. If you pray hard enough, and he wants to walk again, he will. My thoughts and prayers are with you, him and his family. Goodluck and godspeed.
