I HYDROPLANED AND SWERVED ACROSS THE STREET IN THE ONCOMING LANE AND SPUN OUT AND WENT UP A DITCH AND HIT A TREE. I WAS EJECTED FROM THE CAR (I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT) AND MY SEAT BACK BROKE AND I WAS EJECTED OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER'S BACK SEAT DOOR - I BROKE THE DOOR WITH MY BACK GOING THROUGH IT. I FRACTURED A VERTEBRAE IN MY BACK AND HAD EXTENSIVE BRUISES EVERYWHERE AND A HAIRLINE FRACTURE IN MY LEFT ARM. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO SEVERELY HURT HAD MY SEAT NOT BROKE AND I WAS EJECTED. THE SIDE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I WAS TOLD I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HURT AS SEVERELY HAD I NOT BEEN EJECTED. I MISSED ALMOST 3 WEEKS OF WORK AND NOW WEAR A BACK BRACE AND AM IN CONSTANT PAIN. *TR
