I was driving down 880 when all of a sudden a see a black object about 50-75 feet in the air, im like wtf. so i look over to do a lane change look back, and get smacked in the head/shoulder with a tire and some 1,000 spoke wheel. i came to (still driving straight actually, and came to a stop. I got out of the car snapped some pics, and then i was taken away on an ambulance....
i was on my way to pick up some parts for fest.

all and all m shoulder is most likly broken in a few places (going to get more xrays tom)
shoulder dislocated, and gashes all of the arms and neck. Im just hoping my arm will be fine, but ill leave that in gods hands
UPdate!!!!
The other driver was found, i am waiting to hear more details. his insurance will cover it (if we didnt find it mine would of as well). hopefully ill be able to buy my car back for under 3k and part it out.
here is the story on the other car, the wheel is one of those that screws on literally. and he was drivings northbound and i was going southbound. his wheel came off, hit the center divide, and launched in the air. and then hit me. he is fully responsible, what would my legal grounds to sue even be????
await more pics
here are some more recent pics of my car.
not to mention i just dropped about 1.5k after this, to make this car look sexy for bimmerfest
