Car accident abroad

Post Reply New Topic

I looked on social media today and I found this post from some people who I sort of know although more acquaintances then friends

“On our last day in Budapest an irresponsible drunk driver smashed into a taxi that my friends were in resulting in one of them having nasty scratches, another needing surgery on both her hands and another who is currently in intensive care fighting for his life and we are still not sure if he is going to make it. He has had two eye surgeries already as his injuries have been severe.
Driving under the influence is never worth it and can cause people to lose their lives. People often think that driving under the influence is harmless but it isn't. You hear about these stories, and now it has happened to people who are very close to me.”


What’s your opinion on the situation my male friend is in? I have not been able to contact because there in a foreign country.

When did this happen

It was posted on social media 19 hours ago so yesterday there have been no other updates yet

On my friend insta account this is her lastest post so far

Can you contact them on WhatsApp

Does it sound from the description that me might die?

Well if someone is fighting for their lives in ICU then that's not a good sign but they are in the right place at least getting the right care so we just need to keep positive Jamesy

Another post described his injuries as life changing and that he is getting surgeries on his eyes

Life changing could mean that he may have some issues in the future

It's very serious this Jamesy

Are you ok

Yeah I am OK but don't get why there have been no updates on Instagram since yesterday?


His older sister only got engaged recently

Well they're probably too busy to do insta with everything that's going on

Yeah. He/they will never be the same again...its sounds like. Even without the eye injuries.

What could you imagine has happened to him?

Well it's hard to imagine because if they didn't have seat belts on he could have gone through the windscreen

Are seat belts compulsory in Budapest

I've just looked it up and they are

Some drunk runs into the side of your cab a high speed. Use your imagination...whiplash, fractures, maybe paralysis,. ...are you kidding? What would NOT be a possibility? Neck and spinal fractures would be the scariest things (speaking off the top of my non expert head).

Any updates Jamesy
