On december 18,2020 I was crossing an intersection. I was traveling maybe 5-10 miles an hour through a green light. An automobile struck me perpendicular at 30-40 MPH. The impact was almost entirely taken by the drivers door. The speed was according to the driver of the vehicle and witnesses. The car was struck so violently that the tires on the passenger side were scuffed on the sidewall from them rolling under the car. I hit my head on the drivers window from the impact. I was wearing my seatbelt.
