During World War I, when a soldier was in pieces and could not be carried by the arms and legs, he was carried in a basket, hence the phrase: "He was a Basket Case!". . .They used a shovel to put the parts into a body bag . . .
My buddy is a firefighter/emt and he's my hero, he helped save a man's life last year (first time) and he was ecstatic, couldn't stop talking about it. I love him for that, he tells me about the calls they get, and they are not good, it takes a certain type of person to do that.There are some things you just dont get over. God bless them cause they do a job that many could not do.

That is one thing you have to admire about firefighters and police officers. I don't know how they can remove themselves after seeing car wrecks that involve people being torn apart.
Delivery driver, eating breakfast behind the wheel, ejected during crash into *** Creek
A **** man is in critical condition after crashing into *** Creek and being ejected from an ****** delivery van early Friday morning.
According to ****** Police Officer *****, witnesses said the driver appeared to be eating breakfast and was distracted.
Police say (personal information), was westbound in a 19** GMC box van on ****** Drive when the wreck occurred.
As the van approached *** Creek Bridge, it went to the right and struck the guard rail, police said. He then overcorrected and went airborne over the bridge railing. The van landed upright in the creek bed and the victim was ejected through the front windshield.
He was in critical condition as of Friday afternoon, according to a local Health Systems spokesman.
Police said charges are pending.
Sorry for the delay, I wanted to post this much earlier, but had a hard time getting it all to work out.
This is the way the accident appeared in our local paper
Below is a photo from the scene. HE was in the right lane, went hard right, hit a guardrail, then hard left, through the guard rail on the left just a few feet before the concrete, jumped the concrete sides to the creek (which was pretty dry at the time) and came to rest in the mud. He was thrown from the windshield.

the guy was paying more attention to his egg mcmuffin than driving in a safe manner
Tie, you wanna know what? That was the first thing that popped into my mind as well. The vast majority of the injuries he recieved were directly due to the fact he went through the windshield. Lost about 3 inches of his leg etc.No seatbelt is a problem
You picked up on that as well. Nope, no blown tire. The whole front end was badly damaged during the accident, both from hitting, going through the guard rails, then hitting the concrete sides of the creek bed bridge.Any mechanical issues with the vehicle such as a blown front tire?
Really, eye witnesses give bad information? Say it aint so.Witnesses often give innacurate information.
Cool, I like this game.
With the new evidence you've given,heres another theory...
The old p500 had a faulty right side ball joint that gave out when the driver hit a bump,causing it to veer to the right, hitting the guardrail.The lap belt failed upon impact causing him to fall off the seat .While falling to the right,the only thing he had to prevent being thrown out the passenger side window was the steering wheel.This is when he accidental hit the gas pedal with his left foot while grabbing the wheel and caused the car to veer left and cross to the other side and crash.
I may be way off,I feel like Sherlock...or Watson...
