Crash caught on dashcam; 6 years later

The long-awaited follow up video to the original 2015 "Crash caught on dashcam". I passed out unexpectedly for the first (and only) time on April 2nd, 2015 and went off the road. Now, six years later, I feel like I'm more comfortable talking publicly about it as I have come full circle and restored the car. A playlist of that restoration is available here:
• 2004 Mustang story, fr...
I got quality medical treatment immediately after the crash and I haven't had any problems since. I always had the symptoms of Orthostatic Hypotension but never passed out before this. Many viewers reached out and said that they or loved ones have had similar experiences and also passed out while driving and they felt like this video helped shed light on what can happen. The symptoms I experienced were nausea, tunnel vision, ringing ears and severe dizziness. If you ever experience these symptoms while driving, get it checked out. I didn't have the luxury of such information and it could have cost me my life. This was not an easy video for me to make but I wanted this to be a resource for people to use. My doctors have already used the original video as a training tool for students learning about heart and neurological disorders. As to the 2004 Ford Mustang that got wrecked in the original video, I fully restored it in 2019-2020 and it looks showroom perfect. My insurance company found a way to get out of paying any claims on the car, so I paid out of pocket for the tools and supplies and did it myself. My health insurance also paid very little for my medical expenses. I still dashcam every day with my 3rd-person camera setup and I plan on sharing the curiosities I see as I always have.

I once fell asleep behind the wheel. I know how disorienting waking up on the left side of a highway can be. One of the scariest things I've done.

[@WolfrumGaming]

Same here, having worked a shift from 4am to 12am, and then having to go back in at 5am for another 8 hour shift, I could barely keep my eyes open. At one point I closed my eyes as I was driving, and before I knew it, I was on the wrong side of the road. Thankfully there wasn't anyone else on the road, but it definitely taught me that sleep was more important than whatever mundane job I was doing. Told myself I would never work something that insane again.

[@WolfrumGaming]

@JP-xd6fm Truth be told, it was also my first job and a relatively new location that had opened up, and this was during a time when our store manager had been fired for sexual misconduct so a lot of the shift planning was being done by kids who had just graduated school (me being a part of the graduation class), so the store was in limbo as everyone was kinda just playing by ear. Near the end of me working there, they eventually shortened my hours down to 14 a week (where previously I had been working over 46), and I got sick of asking for more hours from everyone so I put in my two weeks just as the new store manager got hired in. I had been working there for about a year in a half when I did so.

The second time I was dehydrated. Thankfully just hit my head on a shower floor that had some give to it. Praise God you're alive my friend. I had a Mustang too, so I get it, but you were the most valuable thing saved that day. Take care Man.

[@taficegaming]

Someone was watching over you when you missed that pole

Was that the same Sky Fairy that made him pass out alone at 65mph?

So happy you’re okay, thank you for sharing a follow up.

Wow, loved hearing the backstory illustrated with photos and video! So happy to hear you're doing well. That boombox build is sweet, huge fan of DIY audio projects myself.

Huge shout out to you sharing your story. Im glad you are ok!!

Thank you. I never saw the original and this is old now. Im glad you're ok. It's good there are empty fields on your commute.

[@sdrape4964]

I just saw the 2015 video, and I thought for sure you were gonna hit that utility pole instead of going through the fence. Then I thought you were gonna go back out onto the highway and crash into traffic. I think this is pretty obvious that a higher power was watching over you that day. Glad you overcame.

I've seen this video clip a few times and always wondered what happened. Good on you for being able to re live and tell us your story. Hope all is well.

[@beepbop6697]

Wow. Thanks for sharing, and hope your medical issues are sorted out now.

In the last 6 years I have probably watched this video 20 times and every time I'm amazed at how lucky you were! So awesome to see this video pop up, and glad to hear you are doing well! Also great job restoring the car!!!

[@Grunchy005]

I had something happen to me that was a little bit similar: I wasn’t feeling so hot, but it was a work day so I was commuting out of town on the highway at ~70 mph. Then I noticed my vision was starting to go away, but in a way the opposite of tunnel vision? I was developing a black spot where I was looking, and my vision was becoming limited more and more to just the peripheral vision. In order to see what was ahead of me, I had to look to the sides. I didn’t feel “bad”, just a little bit queasy. Anyway before too long, I pulled off at a side road and found a place to safely shut off for a little while. What I did was I opened the windows for air, reclined the seat, and shut my eyes, and relaxed for a good 10 minutes. Eventually the feeling passed, my vision came mostly back, and I made it to work, where I thankfully was able to take some reprieve. Later on I recovered completely and never experienced that again for months. Then weeks later I had an optometrist appointment, and I asked the doctor about it. She took a close examination and concluded that I must have experienced a “retinal migraine,” which is apparently not too uncommon. I’ve never had a migraine headache before, so I had no knowledge of this. Essentially, like a bad migraine, what really needs to happen is exactly what I had done: find a quiet place to rest and close my eyes until I could recover. I’ve actually had this happen a couple more times since, and my reaction has been better and better. Now the moment I feel my vision starting to fade, even a tiny bit, I can stop what I’m doing and find a safe place to rest and recover. Now if this happens I can recover fully in just a few minutes. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@steezydan8543]

Had the exact same thing happen to me when I was a teenager, at school. A dozen or so episodes occurred in a 2 or 3 year span and ever since I haven't had any. Vision loss right in the center line of sight, then a short while later your vision comes back and you have a huge headache for the rest of the day. I'm quite thankful I haven't had any incidents, especially not while driving or working.

[@angelgjr1999]

Same thing has happened to me, retinal migraine. It’s scary because you think you’re going blind. At first I thought my blood sugar was off, but it went away on its own thankfully.

[@theabristlebroom4378]

I have "ocular migraines" caused by MSG. I loose my vision for a minimum of 30 minutes to a maximum of 3.5 hours. Not what this fellow when through, that is scary af.

[@dustintravis8791]

I remember your video. Glad you've got your health condition figured out and that your'e okay man. Thank you for sharing this extended version and explaining what all happened.

[@mannydcbianco]

Thank you for sharing this story with us. Goes to show how seemingly small health issues, hereditary or otherwise, can end up having huge consequences.

[@lukebaehr3851]

Wow bro!!! You barely missed that telephone pole and your car totally could have got back on the free way going the wrong direction! I know you know but dang bro You are massively fortunate!!! Praise God you're ok. Your guardian angel grabbed the wheel and kept you from getting back on the freeway!!!

[@short_personman]

"The symptoms I experienced were nausea, tunnel vision, ringing ears and severe dizziness." hmmm... i experienced all of these except for ringing ears once after "mountain biking" in a nearby state park with a decent sized hill. it was slight nausea, extreme tunnel vision to the point where i literally couldnt see anything, my vision went absolutely haywire, and slight dizziness. instead of ringing ears, my hearing just cut out, like, i didnt hear anything, no ringing, no other random sounds, just silence.

[@wyattscheerer6469]

Should ask ur doctor next time u see him

[@wowrulerlvl70]

I used to black out a lot I think it's just low blood pressure man but I have had procedures done with surgeons since and haven't had one since.

[@DevilDaRebel]

Lol, I had the same experience but my inner ear kinda blew out on me on both side at the same time, like hearing a gun shot. It was sharp, and everything else that you mentioned I experienced except passing out. I was mad as fuck at the time. Maybe blood pressure correlates with it?

[@lightofeyezz]

This happened to me in classroom in high school during a punishment. I told my teacher and ask her if I should sit down cuz I thought I would fall off. She allowed me but thought it was my lie as a way out of punishment lol and she gave me snacks after.

[@gloyper]

I get this when im laying down or sitting in a weird position like head tilted or something, once i get up too quickly, i lose vision everything goes purple blueish and i feel like a head rush, like too much blood idk. Hearing lowers like when you yawn really hard. Goes away after 2-3 seconds.

[@G4Zv2]

I remember stumbling upon that video two years ago. It was heartbreaking to see what you had to go through; on a lighter note, we are all glad that you are doing much better now.
