Man records himself being cut out of crashed vehicle

If you were involved in a serious accident and became trapped inside your vehicle, would you record yourself being rescued?

Probably not, but that's exactly what Andrew Macdonald did last month.  He uploaded the video to YouTube over the weekend and the story is going viral.

MacDonald used his YouTube channel to tell the story.

I'm okay. On January 11th, 2015 I blacked out behind the wheel at 530 in the morning after a night in Victoria, BC. Drove straight into a pole on the drivers side at 60km/h in Duncan, BC. Suffered a broken right arm. Broken left Femur. Broke both knee caps. And both ankles. Went for major surgery in Victoria which took total 14 hours over a couple days. Metal plates and screws all over. Spent a month in hospital. Only 1 hot nurse :| But I'm home now. And recovering quickly! 

Since appearing on Reddit Monday night, the story has been picked up by dozens of news outlets.
