Nearly the same thing happened to me back in May (hit by an oncoming left turn, ambulance ride, broken bone, etc., and just a few miles away from the OA's accident) and my phone got the whole thing.

The recording is an interesting souvenir. I was in a strange mood for the first few days (suddenly confined to my apartment with very limited mobility) and got a kick out of showing the recorded track to anyone that came to visit, watching their horrified reactions to "Here's where I got hit, and over there is where I landed..." Thanks to a little Python script I'd written a while back, I had the track colored according to speed, and that made it even more "fun" to look at.

It's weird to think that stuff like that -- and with that level of detail -- will be around for future generations to look at.
