Depending upon how I feel my luck changed somewhat on Friday afternoon last week.
I was run over crossing the road at a pelican crossing (traffic light crossing in the UK) - the lights were on red - by a car doing 45mph - 15mph over the speed limit.
I never saw what hit me, as a bus which had stopped at the crossing to let me across, obsured my view of the car who next to it, who had decided to ignore the law, common sense and any respect for the lives of others and made his own road lane.
The next thing I remember is being being lifted into the ambulance - around 20yards away from the pelican crossing, with some bloke (the driver) of the car that hit me) telling the paramedic that he was only doing 45mph and that I had come out of nowhere and he couldn't see me unitil it was too late.
Today I have been released by the hospital to go back home - along with a broken leg, 3 fractrured ribs, 7 fractures in my shoulder (inluding a brokn clavical), 5 missing teeth, a new weird looking nose, stitches in my mouth, around my mouth, several lacerations, bruises and cuts and a lot of pain.
good luck for me? yes - I'm still alive
bad luck for the driver who hit me? i hope so
