Family car accident

BrotherDave, my wife's brother (as well as being my next-door neighbor) was in a car accident today. He was on his way back from coaching some sporting event or another -- he's a high school teacher -- and somehow, some way on the freeway he managed to hit the guardrail, then bounce off into the other lane (but going the same direction) and get munched by a SUV.

He doesn't remember anything between driving for a minute or two after getting on the freeway, and climbing out of the car after the accident. Obviously, he hit his head, as he has a crack in the bone under his eye socket, a stitch near his eye, and another on his forehead. Spent a few hours in the hospital while they stitched him up and ran some tests, but other than a few additional cuts and bruises, he's o.k.: 1970's Rover sedan -- good British steel.

Pretty freaky -- could've gone much worse.
