Words By Che George

You want to tell that insane story?
I was recently in a horrible car crash that really woke me up. We went to pick someone up and on the way back to my house, the foot patrol tried to pull us over for having our music too loud. We swerved around them and sped off going through a blind intersection. We had a stop sign but perpendicular traffic didn’t, we nearly caused a wreck there. At the next intersection, the same thing happened. We were going about 80 and three bikers came out of nowhere. We swerved around and lost control. We slid and hit a parked car which sent us spinning to the other side of the road and crashing into six cars total, plus ours. My head bounced off the window and I was hammered so I kind of blacked out. All I hear is “Run! Run! Run!”, but my door wouldn’t even open so I went out the broken window. This happened at around 11:30 on a weekend where the streets of Isla Vista resemble Mardi Gras. There were people everywhere and the fact that we hit none of them was an act of God. So I’m out the window and I hit a straight line over five fences. Once I realized what happened, I went back to see hundreds of people, fire trucks, ambulances and my friend Trevor on a gurney… It was not good. Then I see my hat under the totaled car and as I picked it up, a cop runs up, grabs me by the neck and starts screaming at me. I told him I had nothing to do with it and he let me walk away. Trevor had internal bleeding in his neck but they released him from the hospital that night. That was the beginning of my night. Don’t drink and drive, please.
