Was that after a fall from a motorbile Unky? Sounds like it
It was a drunk driver mounting the pavement one night.Me and my ex wife had just got off the bus from a night out in town(about 11.45 pm) when a car came over the brow of the hill and then slid sideways into us.
We were just waiting for the bus to pull away before we crossed the road.
All I remember is trying to move out of the way,the next thing I was on my back looking up at the bus doors.I new my leg was broken,but not much else.
At first I thought my wife was ok,but when the fire sevices came(the car was wedged between the bus and a garden wall and leaking petrol) someone shouted,"there's someone in this garden".
The impact had knocked my wife in the air and through the privet hedge into a garden.
She had a broken leg,fractured pelvis and bruising all.Her leg was a straight break,but my was a compound fracture and quite complicated.We both spent 2 weeks in hospital and then 6 months at my mum's.
I often wonder how lucky we both were to be alive that night,and we were kept on this earth for some purpose.
There was one other person got off the bus with us that night,he just a a couple of cuts and some bruising.
The driver was over the limit and was Fined £100 and banned for a year(the date was 1st December 1978
