Ok, new scariest moment of my life. My second major wreck was on Monday evening.
I was on a 6 lane major road going 55 mph (speed limit) and t-boned a truck that blew through a stop sign and crossed the road. And she was going FAST. I barely saw her and didn't have a chance to brake at all.
It pretty much completely demolished the entire front of our car and our car apparently spun and completely caved in Peyton's door (rear passenger). The airbag deployed on initial impact, so with that in my face I had no control over the steering and couldn't even see that we spun until we came to a stop. I thought the airbag broke my nose at first. I have burn on my arms from it. My left shoulder and wrist are hurt, which I think is also from the airbag throwing it off the wheel--I drive with my other arm lower. The dashboard crashed in onto my legs. My shins and both knees are bruised and scraped up, but I nothing is broken. I have I huge (iPhone sized) bruise/welt/knot on my left shin. I got some minor burns on my face from the air bag. Perhaps the stragenst injury--I was wearing shorts and have upholstery burn on my upper thighs so it hurts to sit. I also have a headache and my neck is hurting. I saw the doc and nothing is broken, thankfully.
Brendan, in a Frontier 85, had some burns/scrapes on his neck and upper chest from his harness and the chest clip. Peyton, RF in a MyRide, has some bruises on his upper thighs from his harness.
Gosh it was so scary. I could hear the boys screaming, and I couldn't get my door open at first. But I got it and ran to B behind me and opened his door and saw he was in one piece and ran to P's side and saw that his entire door had caved in. I absolutely freaked. I ran back to B's side and scrambled over him to pull P out. About this time, an Army Ranger who saw everything came running up to check on me. He got the boys and me away from the car to a safe distance, because there was gasoline pouring out. Thank goodness he and his friend, another Ranger were there. They handled everything. They called the cops, got the ambulance, stayed with the boys, and me. They were like angels. One them even pulled a couple of patches of his uniform to give to the boys. One that said Ranger and one that said Special Forces.
My DH didn't even know about it. The wreck was on his route home from work. He saw it and the ambulance, then recognized the soccer sticker with Brendan's name on it, and pulled over.
I really thank God. Everything about his was nothing short of miraculous. For me to t-bone that truck at 55 mph--it's a miracle that we all walked away. P seems unfazed. B is very upset and working through it. I'm fine, but when I see the pics of Paint's door, I just absolutely lose it.

Glad the boys are fine, too.
