Crash caught on dashcam; 6 years later

The long-awaited follow up video to the original 2015 "Crash caught on dashcam". I passed out unexpectedly for the first (and only) time on April 2nd, 2015 and went off the road. Now, six years later, I feel like I'm more comfortable talking publicly about it as I have come full circle and restored the car. A playlist of that restoration is available here:
I got quality medical treatment immediately after the crash and I haven't had any problems since. I always had the symptoms of Orthostatic Hypotension but never passed out before this. Many viewers reached out and said that they or loved ones have had similar experiences and also passed out while driving and they felt like this video helped shed light on what can happen. The symptoms I experienced were nausea, tunnel vision, ringing ears and severe dizziness. If you ever experience these symptoms while driving, get it checked out. I didn't have the luxury of such information and it could have cost me my life. This was not an easy video for me to make but I wanted this to be a resource for people to use. My doctors have already used the original video as a training tool for students learning about heart and neurological disorders. As to the 2004 Ford Mustang that got wrecked in the original video, I fully restored it in 2019-2020 and it looks showroom perfect. My insurance company found a way to get out of paying any claims on the car, so I paid out of pocket for the tools and supplies and did it myself. My health insurance also paid very little for my medical expenses. I still dashcam every day with my 3rd-person camera setup and I plan on sharing the curiosities I see as I always have.

He’s a better drive unconscious than others are conscious

I don't think that crash could have gone any better, you didn't flip, didn't hit a pole and didn't go into incoming traffic. Glad to see you're ok 💯

It's May 8, 2024 and this just popped up on my recommendations. Glad you are alright.

What we learn here: if you get tunnel vision and feel somethings not right, stop the car immediately at a safe place

Mustangs like “ight he’s sleeping again now I get to do some epic drifts.”

[silvertbird]

As a Mustang owner, I feel your pain. I’ve never seen a dash cam mounted in the backseat, typically it’s at the top of the windshield. Anyway your unorthodox camera position certainly made the video more informative and interesting. Glad you survived, would love to see photos of the restored Mustang.

Proof that it's human error when a mustang hits a person...this thing drove flawlessly without a human...

[mitchellhardy]

You can tell how uncomfortable he is telling the story. Massive respect

Hey Paul!

I messaged you on YouTube back when it still had messages years ago asking how you were doing, and expressing that I'm really glad that you're okay, and you replied to me saying that you were okay and getting better. It was a really short interaction between us but I still remember it when I see the crash video. I just saw this video now and I'm really glad you're doing well and still with us <3 Take care buddy

Anyone driving by would have thought some dude was just fucking around drifting in that field having a blast😂😂

[merkinyall]

It’s not you, it’s the mustang. They do this all the time

I once fell asleep behind the wheel.
I know how disorienting waking up on the left side of a highway can be.
One of the scariest things I've done.

[imsavor]

When you realize 2015 really was 6 fucking years ago

[KHoltzie]

The dude CRASHES his ‘Stang’ and almost dies THEN RESTORES it on his own time and dime once healthy again...talk about the circle of life! 😔✊🏻⭕️

[knightlautrec]

Honestly watching the original crash video with only the title of "crash caught on dashcam" I thought you were going straight into the traffic multiple times. So many things lined up there to make this way way better than it could've been. Glad you're OK!

Paul: passed out
Mustang: IT'S SHOW TIME BABY!!!

[BrogramFilmss]

thats crazy how the issue with the steering potentially saved your life.

[JohnHonda]

I remember seeing the original video years ago, the original video just popped back up again which lead me here. I am glad to see you are ok, thanks for the explanation.

[masonstuart]

you can tell how uncomfortable this makes him just talking about it. and watching the video too. glad youre okay man

i cant imagine how terrifying that would be after regaining conciousness. out of all the scenarios though that was probably the best outcome losing control on the highway.
