I was thrown from the car 18 months ago in accident. Since then we have assumed the driver left me to die, as I was found on the side of the road 40 ft from car with noone else present. Now, 18 months later, I recieve a letter in the mail claiming I have just been issued a warrant for drunk driving from that accident. accident was on may 24th, 2008. it is now November 22, 2009, slightly over 18 months after accident.
Sorry, here's more info., my car hit a telephone pole head on, and i was thrown from the car, so my car was the only car involved. We know that i wasn't driving because 1. the driver's seat was moved ALL the way forward, I'm 6ft. tall, I need the seat moved ALL the way back, and 2. the driver door was open (concluding someone opened it and walked away), I was 40ft from the car with 17 broken bones, i was in a coma, and i had a broken femur with a shredded femorial artery, which was causing compartment syndrome in my left leg, (in other words, there's no way i was the one to open the driver door and walk away)... someone left me there to die, and now just as i'm learning how to walk again, and put my life back together, i'm being charged with drunk driving.
and, yes, when they flew me to the hospital and took blood from me, i was intoxicated.
