A drunk person that was driving under the influence smashed my car and unfortunately, the impact was quite severe and it flinged me across the car. I bashed my head on the window.”
She added, “I’m alive and I’m well. Except for some minor injuries, swelling and a slight concussion, I’m okay. I’m grateful for that. That could have ended terribly, but I came to say this to say that this is why you should not drink and drive. I hate alcohol to begin with.”

Can A Mild concussion Kill You?
A concussion may be called mild, but it is still a traumatic brain injury. Doctors say it should never be ignored. In rare cases, complications like internal bleeding or brain swelling can be life-threatening. The risk increases if a second concussion happens before full recovery.
Medical experts advise urgent care if symptoms appear. These include worsening headaches, repeated vomiting, loss of consciousness, slurred speech, numbness or seizures.
