Bet you'll never guess what James did today....

...he got into another car accident. Yes, ANOTHER one. In another Benz (the new C Class he just leased...1200 miles on it, only 1 month or so old). He is OK though.

He was on his way to work, traveling on a four lane road (2 lanes each direction) in the left lane. An Infiniti SUV was sitting in the shoulder in the same direction he was going, and decided to make an illegal u-turn in front of James. James attempted to swerve to avoid it, but the guy floored it without looking. Hit James' rear passenger side and pushed him into oncoming traffic. Luckily cars coming at him were able to avoid him. He got pushed all the way over to the other side of the road. Car took a lot of damage, but did exactly what it was supposed to do. The one picture we have isn't the greatest, but it shows some of the damage. James thinks it looks worse from another angle, but he was in too much pain to take a ton of pics. Will post it shortly (need to save it first).

He was taken via ambulance on a backboard to the hospital. Pain had to be intense for him to even tell them he was in pain, and that it was his neck, since he knew they'd put him on a backboard immediately. Had two sets of x-rays and a CT scan to make sure nothing had been affected from the surgery, or anything new. Everything was negative. So far, so good. He's in pain, and will probably get worse over the next few days. But he's in one piece.

You would think we would eventually catch a break. At least he was in the C class, and not the TA.
