so we get our drink and walk out, as we're walking back (on the sidewalk) a black car, driven by an obviously intoxicated person, pulls into the parking lot. she jumps the curb, and 'bumps' my wife, but instead of slamming on the break, she slams on the gas, pinning my wife's leg between the bumper of the car and a brick wall.

long story short my wife's upper leg was broken, right up near the thigh and we just got home last night. she had to have surgery and a rod put into her leg.

to my friends here, please don't drive intoxicated, there is no excuse, you may think you're safe to drive and you're fine, but even that split second could have been the split second to trigger which pedal to slam on sparing my wife from the pain she will now endure for the rest of her life.
