My dad was dropping me off at work, and we're waiting to make the turn, and he all of a sudden says "Oh [censored]" and BAM my head slams forward into the dashboard, for some reason the airbags didn't deploy, and I'm lucky I wore my seatbelt, otherwise I would have went through the windshield. I heard the windows shatter and the crashing of metal. It was so sudden. We were rear-ended by a pickup truck doing somewhere between 30-40 mph.

After my head slams into the dash, I hold the front of my head cause it hurts, and my dad looks at me and says "You're bleeding" and I see drops of blood dripping on my pants. He gives me a handkerchief to hold on the wound, which I look at in the mirror, almost right between the eyes.

I look up again and like 4 cops are already there. My dad is out of the van and looking at the damage. Both our van and the guy's truck we're totalled. The paramedics get there and they were checking my spine to make sure nothing was broken and I felt okay at the time, and I go to the ambulance and I hear the guy in the van talking about how he was taking like 3 or 4 different medications.

So I ended up getting 12 stitches (11 on surface, 1 beneath) and my neck is getting sorer as the day has gone on, so I'm sure I'll feel like garbage tomorrow. My friend is a lawyer and since I've got an injury with permanent marks (scar on my forehead) I should be getting a nice settlement.
