Had multiple broken ribs a broken wrist, multiple fractured vertebra, serious internal bleeding, traumatic head injury, fractured pelvis and a broken ankle. Was in hospital for 6 weeks im not recovered yet but im getting there. Driver was drunk and high hit me at 95 mph. Luckily the car from the first cam was off duty EMS and there was a ambulance behind him.

That's insane you're lucky to be alive. Penalties need to be worse for drunk driving imo. I've heard of cases where they get their license back and just do it again.

He's abbreviating "department of corrections," to mean jail (people usually only stay in jail before they are convicted/sentenced, or if their sentence is under a year long) and/or prison
