I've been going over so many different ways to start this, but I guess straightforward is the best approach.

Last night around 10, a car slammed into the car that my mom, my friend Charles and I were in. We rolled over I think 2 and a half times, landing on the roof of the car. It was unbelievable, I'd gone down that road a thousand times. The car came speeding down a side street, now way it could have even tried stopping to have flipped us the way it did. I was the last one out because I was shouting to the rescue guys to get my mom out. We weren't even 100 feet from a fire station, so the response was fast. I got taken to the hospital in the back of an ambulance and they kept me for 7 and a half hours or so, got all sorts of tests and shit done.

In short, I'm fine. My shoulder hurts, but it's just some muscle pain from getting slammed into the door. Charles is also fine with a similar though less serious injury from what he told me. My mom however has a fracture in her neck and is going into surgery tomorrow. She's not paralyzed and last I saw her she was otherwise okay, all things considering. I'm praying that the surgery goes well and she's okay.
