Default Anyone ever break their collar bone?

I had a tire seperate/blow out and it caused a heck of an accident on 95 south just north of route 32 at 6:15 this am. Long story short it did not roll but I crossed several lanes of traffic facing forwards, backwards, and sideways. I got tagged in the drivers rear and ended up in the slow lane, I was in the hammer lane doing 75 when it blew. I attached my X-rays, going to see a specialist tomorrow hopefully and see what they can do about it.

Sorry no Jeep pictures, The EMT's were on me like a fat kid on a twinkie.

DUDE!! the collar bone is the worst!! There really isnt much they can to to splint it besides just letting it heal from what I hear. I cant really tell from the picture, but did you break it in 2 places?!? Hopefully they can screw that back into place! That takes some skill! Glad you made it out ok! (well all things considered) How's the truck/jeep?!

I broke mine when I was like 10, I was sledding down a hill on one of those saucer sleds and I slammed into a barn at the bottom of the hill. Not Fun. I broke the other one when I was riding bareback horses in HS. I had a horse pull my shoulder out of socket and when I hit the ground he stepped right on my collar bone. That one was way more not fun.

I am going to see a specialist tomorrow about it, we will see what they say they can do for it.

Yes it is broke in two places, right where the seat belt was. The Jeep is totaled from what I can tell. Its a unibody and I could not open either door on the drivers side.

been there done that but only broke it in one spot myself........ if broke in 2 spots then you might end up with a rod shootin through it or some metal plates and a bunch of screws.........

you'll be called Rain Man cause you will know when a storm is about to hit, i can predict it in about 5-10 minutes before it happens....

mine tells me when it's getting cold, I notice during an abrupt hot/cold weather change it'll bug me and I subconsciously hold it up like it's in a sling still.
