Both drivers were flown to Metro in Cleveland. When our reporter called to check on the patients we were told that both men were in fair condition.

thats what ya get for driving foreign, those foreign pieces of crap are like tin cans, they dont care about safety they only care about fuel efficiency, why do you think they are all so light in weight? for fuel efficiency, crappy cars are made in asia, quality and muscle is made in Detroit.

Great to see MedFlight and Metro Life Flight at the same scene.

And they expect him to have a permanent limp. He was in surgery the day after the crash, I know. Some of my family went to visit him. It's kinda scary to think that happened to someone I know. I mean...I've been in that car. I don't believe in god but I will say it's some sort of miracle they survived. Especially after seeing that car. I've heard about the driver since I know him, but I wonder what injuries the truck driver had, too.

Yes. I do know the driver of the car. He is the father of a very close family friend. Please see my post above for his condition. Both drivers happen to live in the area.

The driver of the car is doing Ok. He has 30 broken bones and had surgery for some of them on Tuesday. He will need lots of physical therapy to be able to walk again. He is very lucky to be alive. His friends and family are thankful for all the prayers that he is receiving. Both drivers were alert as they were rescued.

The driver of the car doesnt remember anything of the accident.

Thank you to all the people who worked so hard to rescue both drivers.
