Same thing happened to a buddy of mine in the early 80's. Fell asleep at the wheel and hit the end of a guard rail. He lost both legs.
The silver lining was we found out that concert venues had awesome wheelchair seating and allowed one escort with the wheelchair bound individual. Great way to get great seat for a sold out show.
When I was an Atlanta firefighter we caught a call where a guy took the top rail of a chain link fence through the windshield. Hit him dead center of the forehead(I'm surprised it didn't skewer his head, it went through the head rest). He was sitting in a chair and talking when we got there. When they loaded him up they got his legs above his head and that was it. Instant death. I got two lines started enroute to Grady Hospital. I wasn't the best at starting IV's, so getting two going in a bouncing ambulance was a high water mark.
I wish we would have had cell cameras back then. We rarely got any pics.
Random roll over pic. I'm on the far right. That was in a 25mph zone.
