Oh gosh! That sounds very much like my husband's accident, only "his" driver made a left turn in front of him. The results were similar though -- broken right clavicle, open fracture upper right arm, four broken ribs on right side and one on the left, cracked and bleeding liver and kidney, cut inside the chest lining, fluid in the lungs, laceration on his face. But the good news ... He was wearing his helmet, and in a matter of weeks he was back on his bike! All sympathy for your patient. May she heal as fast as my DH.

And "SnappyPix", your emotions were a good barometer of the situation. Those situations are scary in the extreme and your relief must have been the balance of that. I'm so glad yours was just a "nearly" accident and not the full impact version!
