Bad Accident!! :(

My dad's and our family friend Dave, was in Iowa doing work for the DEP.. Business.. and he was supposed to come home and spend a week or so with his wife Toni.. on Saturday.. so, my dad calls him on Sunday, and was like.. "hey, are you coming out to look at the Dragster Body?" Dave was like "what!?" My dad goes.. "the Dragster Body!.. for our cars!" and Dave says... "dude! I'm still in Iowa out here in the hospital!" my dad said.. "WHAT!??" So Dave explained...
he was on his way to the airport, then once he got there.. his flight was cancelled because of the snow! Then,... the guy in front of him said he'd take him To Cedar Rapids Airport.. because they could both get a flight home from there... in an hour. and it was prolly a 45 minute drive. So, he's like I turned in my rental car.. can you take me? The guys like yeah I'll hop you a ride. So Dave and this guy are on their way to Cedar Rapids... and they hit a chunk of Snow and Ice.. and there was NO gaurdrails... so, they flipped their Pick-up truck down into the ravine..and dave had his seat belt on.. but it split on the door side. and both the passanger side door and the driver door were ripped off in the accident.. and Dave was thrown 40to 50 feet from the truck at the bottom of the ravine. He had a split splean.. and a couple broken ribs.. and internal bleeding, headinjuries.. and a compound fracture in his arm where the bone was sticking out! It was NASTY! haha.. so now, he has to stay in the hospital in Iowa for 2 and a half weeks or so. So, his wife Toni flew out on the first flight she could to go be with him! :) Wich is good.. but his one boy is in his first year of college @ the University of Pitt.. and his other boy is in his last year of college or graduate school or whatever he's @! ghaha.. so I hope he gets to see them soon! :)
He almost died! :( on Thursday.. I'm soo glad he didn't! :)
Get better soon Dave! :) <33
