Geez, Mike, I'm sorry to hear that. I was hospitalized for an accident once, and once was enough.
On the other hand, the guy's comment to the cops...
Yeah, here in Salt Lake we see a lot of that too - people thinking that ice is the same as asphalt. Whooooops!!!
Back when I was driving skiers from the airport to the resorts, I was bringing a load down in a driving snowstorm. Twenty mph on the freeway. One guy kept ragging about how he was going to miss his flight. I held my temper, and was saved by another guy who finally said "Hey! I'd rather miss my flight and have to take a later one than not get there at all!
Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
