if anyone has driven on Carrollton and those other streets, they can tell you they're in very bad shape. Blown tire is very possible given those street conditions


That's actually what I was thinking. Driving Carrollton and some of those streets around there is a nightmare. It'd be very easy for something bad to happen very quickly, especially in a vehicle you're not accustomed to (if he did buy this yesterday).

Falling asleep and getting tangled with one of those cement light poles makes sense. Damn.........

I'd say someone in any less top physical condition might not have been so lucky to be alert at the scene.

I'm not an expert by any means but I've worked many MVAs as a medic and this is what I see.

impact was obviously front-quarterpanel.
The room in the cabin above the head is deceiving, the dash(under the sterring wheel) impacted his legs, the seat has been moved back during extrication(look how close the front seat is to the back seat) I know that he probably lays back while he drives but look and the seat part of the back seat in relation to the back of the front seat.

I'll put money on him having both a head injury and massive lower extremity injuries.

My prayers go out to CJ!

again, that part of carrolton might be the smoothest street in all of New Orleans, you all are thinking of the strectch of Carrolton uptown, which is under such heavy construction right now, that you can realistically do no more than 25 mph. it had nothing to do with poor roads
