the fact that tegtmeyer is alive is amazing. but how he survived is unbelievable. i was told later that when she hit my car, the dent that she put in the left side of my car turned out to have been very important because if you watch the video closely, you ll see that by the time the car rolls over scott, he s actually protected somewhat by that dent in the car. but i was in that cubby hole, and that kept my head from being paper thin, i gather. the car still called massive damage. 16 broken bones, 3 in the neck and 3 in the pelvic and then broke arm, some fingers and a few other things. he had three breaks in the back of his neck or in his spine that he if he moved his head or anything, that he would could be paralyzed. i remember that them
could lift the car. one gentleman said, ma am, we can t lift this car. and then another guy in the background said, get the car. and they lifted the car and then someone helped pull me from the car to the side of the road there. and at that point, i looked to my left and i saw a gentleman lying at the corner. and i asked, what happened to him? tegtmeyer lies a few feet away. he didn t look good. he was a kind of smoky gray. his lips, his skin, everything. he looked serene. he wasn t moving. and sure enough, the ambulance was there right away. when they went over to scott, they thought he was dead, so they covered him up and went to the other two ladies. neither betty haislip, who was driving the pt cruiser, nor hughey, have any injuries. i think i ended up with about 66 stitches all over between my legs, my hands and my face. the internal bleeding was a bit
of a concern, but once they discovered that it was just the multiple cuts to the liver, doctors said that i could allow that to heal naturally. but tegtmeyer isn t as lucky. the guy that was out here, he was mangled pretty bad and bleeding from just about everywhere. and then something remarkable happened. evidently, somebody detected a small pulse in his leg. and said, this man is not dead. he is alive. tegtmeyer is rushed to the hospital and his family is there by his side. when we first seen scott, he was just cut well, he had burns all over his back, his leg. it was just like, it was just awful, the skin was gone. he had this huge cut on his head.

according to the video, what i ve seen, it was done and over with before a person could blink their eye. the first thing i remember is waking up in the hospital bed with oven mitts and a safety belt strapping me to the bed. i was told that i was trying to pull the trach out of my throat. the fact that tegtmeyer is alive is amazing. but how he survived is unbelievable. i was told later that when she hit my car, the dent that she put in the left side of my car turned out to have been very important. because if you watch the video closely, you ll see that by the time the car rolls over scott, he s actually protected somewhat by that dent in the car. but i was in that cubby hole, and that kept my head from being paper thin, i gather.
