Description from original poster:

Happened a year ago so we’re almost finished with construction.

My car was parked on the right side on the break in the concrete. He was going 45-50 mph and pushed it over 5-10ft of concrete, through a windstorm certified garage door, and into a filled garage.

If my car hadn’t been there he would’ve driven right into one of the front bedrooms.

Had the pictures pop up in my memories and decided to share the crazy experience!

    Former EMT here: I ran more diabetic / hypoglycemia car crash calls than drunk driving calls. Really confused me

        Huh? That’s one possible way to become hypoglycemic, but certainly not the most common, in my limited professional experience.

            I’m not diabetic, so I am relation my perspective as a former EMT:

            The most common I experienced was folks not managing their daily diet perfectly. It can happen that they miss a meal or whatever, and “forget”. Then, while driving, the impacts of becoming hypoglycemic hit. Since they “forgot”, the onset of symptoms is unexpected. If it hits fast enough they don’t have time to realize what’s happening, and go from a competent driver to a “drunk”, with reduced mentation, focus, dexterity, etc. They can even pass out.
