ON FEBRUARY 7TH, 2016 AT 3:15 AM, ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN FOREST HILL AND MILITARY, A DRUNK DRIVER TRAVELING WEST BOUND WHILE I WAS HEADING EAST DROVE INTO MY LANE, HITTING ME DIRECTLY. AFTER THIS HEAD-ON COLLISION, THE DRIVER DECIDED TO FLEE THE SCENE, LEAVING ME STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN PAIN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALIVE. THE AIRBAG INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY LEAVING ME WITH EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN MY NECK, CHEST AND KNEE. I COULD NOT BREATHE OR TALK, I WAS RUSH TO THE WELLINGTON REGIONAL HOSPITAL. I WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT AND I WAS GOING TO TURN LEFT ON MILITARY TRAIL, THE GUY WHO CRASHED ONTO ME WAS COMING FROM THE NORTH ON MILITARY TRAIL TRYING TO MAKE A RIGHT ONTO FOREST HILL BLVD, BUT TOOK THE LANE HEADING EAST INSTEAD OF THE ONE HEADING WEST. HE WAS DRIVING REALLY FAST WHILE I WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT TO TURN LEFT.
