My boyfriend and I had a single car accident in my 2008 Dodge Caliber this past weekend. During the accident we were traveling between 40 and 50 mph in fog and were unaware that the road we were on ended in the shape of a "T". we then flew in the air landed and crashed the whole front part of my car. The angle at which we landed was with the front of the car pointed down. The air bags did not deploy. His injuries include 3 chipped molars on the right side of his mouth and a piece of flesh missing from the left side of his mouth. His left jaw is also swollen and he can hardly open his mouth to eat. My injuries include a swollen left knee, both knees are skinned up. My left shoulder as an imprint of my lace shirt on it and is sore to the touch, both my arms are in pain and the left is scrapped. I can't look to either side without having to move my whole body and I can't look up with my neck. My chest, ribs and breast bone are also sore, sore enough in fact that I had to be taken to the emergency room the night after because I had thrown up that morning and it was hurting to breathe and from the stress I either had a seizure or anxiety attack.
