Answer:
About 5 years ago my girlfriend and I were taking a summer camping trip in southern Alberta. I was in the passenger seat trying to find the campground on a map when she drove over the crest of a hill, was blinded by the sun drove into the ditch. It was a seriously steep ditch but we weren't going very fast so all was fine. I looked over at her and laughed before returning my attention to the map, assuming she could safely bring the vehicle back onto the road.
The next thing I knew, the SUV launched onto the pavement and she lost control and we began swerving. I remember feeling the wheels on the driver's side lift off the ground, then the impact as I was slammed into the door and glass exploded into my face. We barrel rolled and we rolled over-front for a seriously long way.
At some point during the chaos I looked over at her to make sure she was "ok", and just as I did so I watched as she was thrown into the ground through her door window and the corner of the roof just above her seat was crushed inward. The way it looked to me was that she had just been crushed between the ground and the roof of the vehicle. I passed out at that point.
When I came to I had somehow already unbuckled myself from my seat and the vehicle was on its roof. I crawled over to her seat and was in absolute shock to see that she was still in one piece. I removed her from her seat and got us out through the windshield before carrying her for about a half a kilometer down the road, still in shock and fueled entirely by adrenaline.
We were found by a driver who had gone past the wreckage and we were eventually taken to a hospital. I broke 3 ribs on my right side and dislocated my right shoulder, she was severely concussed and scraped up but otherwise mostly okay. However she was 7 weeks pregnant at the time and we found out while in hospital that her body had rejected it under the immense and sudden stress.
We are still together and have 3 amazing and beautiful children, but she still holds onto a lot of guilt surrounding the accident and the loss.
