SmugMug > keywords > troy mathis > The 1989 Honda Accord my brother(Phillip Anthony Hinkel) was in after a 16 yr. old boy(Troy Mathis) hit him in the drivers side at speeds in excess of 75 mph.The Accord was drug sideways 200 feet,then hit a street sign and flipped.My brother hung upside down in the car by his seatbelt until being cut down by paramedics.I believe he either would have died or gotten a lot better if he hadn't been wearing it.The seatbelt caused the liver and spleen injuries and caused irreversible brain damage by cutting his oxygen supply off ,by the blood and vomit in his airway, while hanging upside down.He was in a coma for 4 months,suffered traumatic brain, back,liver,spleen injuries,broken pelvis,and gasoline burns on his body.The injuries he recieved rendered him brain damaged and quadrapalegic 0n August 21,1991.He spent 10 months in Singing River Hospital,mostly in the Neuro intensive care unit for seven months,then Tuoro hospital in New Orleans for rehabilitation for 3 months.He passed away as a result of these injuries on February 28,1998.The driver of the other car had knee surgery,spent one night in juvenile hall,recieved a 300 dollar fine,and had his license revoked until age 21.Not to long ago I recieved a ticket from the Pascagoula Police Dept. for my radio being up to loud at the same intersection.I was fined 300 dollars(now it is a thousand dollars for 1st offense,and jail time for second offense.Maybe it's just me,but that doesnt sound quite fair,but life isn't fair I guess.
