DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. Drunk driver was driving on the wrong side of the highway right at me and I swerved to the right, got hit from behind, spun out and hit the side wall. I was lucky enough to leave with a couple of bruises. But keep my parents in your prayers please. pic.twitter.com/blIopLrELR
