Hey RS members

So I thought i posted this up as I just got back from the hospital just today. Just a minor injury on my neck, back, chest and my knee caps. Yes, Im still able to walk and breathe. Doctor said i will recover slowly.

Basically, i came from TBC racing with my friends and headed home right after to drop my friend home. After we left TBC racing, I was coming from the highway toward richmond which connects to alderbridge. I slowed down to go under 60KM post limited speed zone and was on the right lane. All of the sudden the oncoming blue dodge caraven (I think) turned left on to shell road. Now i dont know how he could not see me going past the intersection when it was green light for me. As i saw him turned, i immediately brake and honk at the same time. My car obviously couldnt stop on time so i swerve to the right and then his car hit my car which then hit another car who was on shell road. both me and my friend were injured in the car. air bags came out, radiator fluid was leaking and it was hot inside of the car, so i told my friend to get out of the car immediately so nothing happens to the car.
the blue van driver came out of the car and he was totally fine. i was crippled and was yelling at him. well not exactly yelling, i was questioning him why he would turn left like that. and he didnt say anything. i ignored him and called 911 to explain what happened. the third car on shell road were injured as well as my car hit them. one of my other friend came by and saw the accident and pulled over to look for me as he recognize my car.
i got off the road to lie down and wait for the ambulance, cops and firetrucks to take care of this.
ambulance then took me to the hospital for check up and been there for 5 hours.

i came home, called icbc to explain the accident and from there. i will find out what happens later.

couple of my friends drove by the incidents and saw my car. i was getting massive texts and calls. one of my friends took pictures of it and forward this to me.

so thought i share some pictures.

I only had this car for about 6 months and i had a goal for this baby....shooot.


MOST IMPORTANT, im just really glad to be alive....
my advice for all you drivers, always be aware of other drivers and be a safe driver.

[rJZx]

RIP one sexy civic
At least you made it and you are alive with no major injuries

[Volvoman]

you had the right of way so it will be the other drivers fault

good thing you are ok!

[TRD Rs200]

shitttttt, srry to hear. hope u wont have any long term injuries. fuck! hate when retards with big cars drive like they're invincible. RIP civic RR

[Senna4ever]

Glad you're (relatively) ok! I hope you have witnesses, and get a lawyer ASAP and don't give a statement to ICBC right away. ICBC is going to try and fuck you up the ass even if it's not your fault. My claim took 4 years to settle, and I was deemed 100% not at fault! Go visit your doctor on a regular basis, go to physio, and keep all receipts for pain medication! Don't settle right away, you'll get less money.

[Death2Theft]

AWww man but you tried so hard with that tow hook and they didn't even make use of it!

[cho]

holy fuck.
how are you gonna make fun of simon now?
haha.

jokes aside thank god you're alright

[MWR34]

welcome to richmond.

sorry 4 your car bro.

[Fafine]

damn your front is gone..

at least youre not too banged up

[1exotic]

at least you're ok.

driver in the van is a fag.

[ThatKoukiKid]

Sigh poor civic, glad you're okay porson. Drove by and completely freaked out when i realized it was you're car. I guess its time to take a break and think ahead for a future project.

[jpark]

wow.... after all this work so sorry for your loss.. but im glad you are okay

[JoshuaWong]

i saw this today coming back to richmond from the highway, was wondering wtf happened. hope u have a speedy recovery.

[k3lv]

Its fortunate you are in decent spirits after this incident and I wish you the best in recovery and dealing with ICBC.

However its also unfortunate to see someones hard work crushed up because of some idiot driver. The good news, a car is replaceable.

Best wishes!

[roastpuff]

Oh damn man. Glad you are alive, and that sucks what happened to the car! Perfect car...

You should be fully compensated, and I second what senna says. Don't settle with ICBC immediately.

[spoon.ek9]

damn, i wish you a speedy recovery. car can be replaced, take the proper steps to recover from your injuries before all else!

[flagella]

Sorry to hear this, and it's sad to see a tastefully modded car gone. But the most important thing is that you're still alive indeed.

[HonestTea]

damn dude! glad you're ok..

[greendb7]

nice car :(
good that you're breathing and able to type this

[TRDood]

Ouch. Hope you bought new car replacement insurance.

Hope you have a swift recovery, dude.

[1-Slicer-1]

Too bad you're stating that you're hardly injured. Could've pretended you're having major back problems and made some big bucks ;).

[RevYouUp]

i see this sexy car all the time at aberdeen =[

[HondaGuy]

Hurts to see your car all damaged up.
Glad to hear you're safe.

Best of luck with everything.

[smoothie.]

[exhil]

[lilkulit]

wow glad you're ok and only had minor injuries. it was a really nice civic, seen it a lot of times, but that can be change. do what sienna4ever said and take your time. Was in the same situation, guy made a left on green while i going straight, t-boned him, i was it the right of way so icbc ruled its the guys fault.

[Drift_Monkey]

good to know you are fine and able to recover.

[i-vtecyo]

holy shit. Glad ur okay, however i really loved ur civic =[ i wish u the best of luck and a fast recovery!

[StylinRed]

they should make everyone in and around richmond retake their road tests -_- glad you're relatively ok

Too bad you're stating that you're hardly injured. Could've pretended you're having major back problems and made some big bucks ;).

Well it just happened he won't really feel all the problems until the morning and the following days

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

wow such a sexy civic, sorry to hear about the accident, hope u recover well



i like everything except the rims, definitely needs better rims.


Oh welll by the look of it , its a write off



poor car

[Groot]

oh my fucking god you gotta be kidding me! its so sexy...hope you have a quick recovery

[ajax]

Damn good to know you're fine!! I guess I was lucky to see it at the Cypress Cruise!

oh and remember not to buy a IS-F for 40k :)

[donjalapeno]

wow that caravan driver is a fuckin retard

[dhari]

glad you're okay man!

make sure you heal up soon and get a lawyer for sure.

[shantz]

Good to know you're around to talk about it after the fact. It could have been a lot worse!

Is the car going to be a write-off or will ICBC want to fix it?

[fsy82]

Good to see your doing okay. Keep us updated on what happens! And yes get a lawyer. My ICBC case took over a year to settle and without a lawyer I would have gotten nothing.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Good to know you're around to talk about it after the fact. It could have been a lot worse!

im 90% sure its a write off judging by the damage

Shitty deal, at least you're alive

[Cman333]

That sucks to hear....best of luck on the recovery.

[ilvtofu]

At least you didn't swerve and end up totalling your car on the shoulder, this way there's pretty solid evidence, hope ICBC works out for you

[vo_hantu]

Glad you and your friend are okay! I saw your car not too long ago...one of my favorite local civics.

You should go for regular check ups...sometimes injuries are not visible right away.

[Evolutionian]

omg.. was hoping to see this project go on :(

[Spectre_Cdn]

I heard about this accident on News1130 as I was heading home..
hope things work out well with your recovery and with ICBC.

[q0192837465]

wow, good luck tou you. I'm also a victim of rmd driver not too long ago. The should really make the driving test harder.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

except richmond faggots buys their way out
:bullshit:

[Euro7r]

Hope you make a speedy recovery. Fkn RMD, just want to jump kick everyone I see there.

[Jobo]

holy shit...so unfortunate...
Wish you the best dude. Car was fuckin nice as hell

[Mizter]

Glad you're okay buddy. Sucks to hear about your car.

[Mkhun]

thank god you are ok man.

best luck to you w icbc

RIP to mugen rr...

[Toeknee]

RIP to one of the best looking civics in lower mainland... If it's written off, would you resume the same project or go start off on a different ride? I wonder if ICBC is willing to get you a brand new civic + all the $ to get the same mods back on it.

Keep us posted on your recovery and settlement with ICBC :)

[optiblue]

At least you're okay! I assume this happened at night. If it's daytime, I'd say he didn't see you because of no DRL or orange side reflectors LOL. Judging from the pics, he's a total idiot to not see your HIDs at night!

[jigga250]

maybe he was blinded by HID's in reflector housing

[exhil]

Hey guys, I just came back from the ICBC Centralized Facility Destination to pick up my stuff in the car and took some pictures of the car. Badly beaten . I definitely want to thank her for saving my life as well as my friend's life. She popped all those airbags for us to prevent the broken glasses.
I will keep you guys updated soon.

Shit.. glad you're okay after something like that.

[hal0g0dv2]

holly shit that is brutal
glad to hear u are ok

[freakshow]

i saw this accident on alderbridge and shell that night.. glad you're ok!

[Volvoman]

can you get compensated for your mods? or is that just down the drain now

[shantz]

looks like someone jacked your shift knob

[exhil]

looks like someone jacked your shift knob

nope i have it with me.

[racerman88]

if the other driver was turning left, he is pretty much at fault. Still get a lawyer though to fight for your injuries.

[Lanesky]

Glad to hear you're ok, car looks sick at our cypress meet, car can always be replaced, but not a person.

[Not really racist!]

She gave her life to save yours. Be thankful. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Hopefully ICBC doesn't fuck you over

[ruthless]

Sorry about the car man she was a beaut :cry:, but good thing your ok
and remember injuries can develop slowly overtime, visit your doctor every couple of weeks, and get him to prescribe physio (ICBC covers 12, you can get more than that if your still in pain), also do not accept the first offer ICBC throws at you, even though it may be tempting, remember they are not on your side, they want to pay out as little money as possible....also take into consideration if you get a lawyer your settlement may be higher, but the time it takes to settle will probably be at least 2 years...

Good Luck...and if its totaled(looks like it) try getting parts off it like the navigation etc..

[DC5-S]

^^ your a moron shut up

[twitchyzero]

didn't realize that's a civic...i thought i was a csx.
sorry to hear you lost such a nice car...speedy recovery.
good thing you were were smart enough to be driving near/at speed limit as outlined in your initial post or this could've been a lot worse.

[exhil]

wtf? so you are more concerned about your car than your friends life?

no i was worried the car may have mixed chemicals or whatever. you know i could be scared the car could...you know..boom. i know it sound stupid but nothing wrong with "what if" and "it could happen"
thats why i told my friend to get out of the car so it doesnt hurt us.
i was not concerned about the car than my friends life.
aiya. guess my grammar sucks.

yeah, that's what I thought you were trying to say but the first time i read it i was like wtf.

[gilly]

wtf? so you are more concerned about your car than your friends life?

dont think thats what he meant. think he was trying to say was he was telling his friend to get out of the car thinking mb it will explode or something but nothing happened.

[TypeRNammer]

From what I can see, there are plenty of things you can take from the car and put back to stock.

-Work Rims/Tires
-Honda Asimo
-Lug nuts
-Intake
-DVD Deck
-side skirts
-rear lip

[spoonek4]

Sorry to know what happened. Glad u're ok and hope u recover soon!

[satek]

Sucks to see such a nice car get scrapped. Best of luck with icbc

dam i could just cry
get well soon

Chemicals from the airbags arent too good for your health so you were right to tell your friend to jump out.

[boss604]

damn, glad ur okay man
my jaw dropped when i saw your civic :(

Shit man ! If your going 60 km/h, that's a big difference in Honda Prelude vs Honda Civic.
I'd the same thing happened to me a year ago and I didn't hit the brakes when I'm truly going 60 on Broadway/Victoria drive at peak hours.

[xilley]

i m surprised no one dicked around " part out " hahha

but ye fuck atleast your alive thats the most important thing

[rJZx]

Damn exhil's sig makes me sad all that hard work on a tastefully modded car is smashed.
good thinking with getting out of the car :thumbsup:

[Midnitez]

OUCH....... good to hear u came outta that walking...

[1BADMR2]

[monkeywrench]

Cars are replaceable, the driver isn't. Glad to know you're okay, speedy recovery my friend.

[FI-Z33]

get well soon porson!! don't worry you'll have a new project soon ;)

hope to see you soon back @ the studio & get the groove on!

[Jegz]

Even though you lost your car, at least you didnt you lose your life. Feel sorry though for your loss. Hope you recover :thumbsup:

[Energy]

Oh no I loved seeing that Civic. Good luck on your recovery and ICBC. What're you getting next?

[Nintensity]

Again, Exhil... i'm glad that you're still here. You can replace a car, but you can't replace a life. I know that after this accident, a bit of fear will be instilled just from being in a car... so just take it easy, rest up, and give it time.

Godspeed to your recovery, dude!

[ruthless]

Glad to know you walk away from that accident.
Just remember that is take around 2 years for you to fully know any problems you will have related to the accident. It is a long time but take it easy and slow. If you go back to work it will affect you settlement. Get a lawyer if you have not done so yet, very good lawyers do not need to advertise and their rates are about 30% and the law in BC limits lawyers from charging over 33 1/3%. I am going through the same shit atm. Good luck and keep us informed.

my moms lawyers charging 24% just for comparison sake...bernie simpson charges 25% once again just for comparison

[Joreus]

Just crazy man. Loved your civic. So glad you're not banged up too bad, your car did what it was supposed to, keep you safe! I'm sorry I didn't find out sooner than I did, been real busy and mostly out of town. Let me know if you need anything bro.

[-EuroRSN-]

Dude I drove right by you maybe 5 mins after the initial accident! I saw the Caravan next to a telephone pole and your CSX right in the middle of the road. I was like FUCKKK NO WAY! so i called ED to see... and turns out it was you. Hope your alright man and dont worry its just a car. Take care !

[exhil]

^ thanks you guyssss

just got out of this crazy nap, well today i went to icbc collision center and had a long 3-4 hours talk with the adjusters to explain what happened and all other problems.
later, my family and i picked up a rental car. it's the awesome nissan sentra.
that's pretty much it for now. i wont go more into details until the case is close.
but will keep you guys updated in the end!

[Nicotine]

hope you feel better bro.
dont let them fuck around. mke sure they cover you for every cent.
esspecially cause it wasnt your fault.

[TheSalesman]

Glad you're ok.
Poor civic...
Did you end up getting a lawyer?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

+ 1 definitely get a lawyer

[604nguyen]

forget icbc , +1 on getting a lawyer
i saw McComb Witten
good guys, got my settlement fast,

[PDA_86]

Terrible accident indeed. We shall pray for you to not have an easier life, but to be a stronger person.

Be water, my friend.
