People often try to get to the hospital when they know they're crashing.
I will say that, anecdotes what they are, a friend got a concussion in 1992 in a mild soccer collision but seemed fine; but they think it contributed to his later accident with his car, as the stress and constant awareness required for driving caused a near blackout where he wasn't able to stop the car in time before he lost focus. And, on the highway, it can be a few seconds to stop properly, and he just didn't have enough time. He saved for years to buy a beautiful car, too, and it was all gone. Thankfully he survived and lived until covid.
Man, what a roller coaster of a story. Glad he made it out of that wreck okay at least.
