Congratulations to the New Times reader who goes by the handle R Russell73, you are the proud winner of this week's New Times You Write the Caption contest.

On Friday, we asked readers to provide what they think would be an appropriate caption for the above photo of the Internet's latest "sensation," George Lindell, for this week's New Times' You Write the Caption contest.

Lindell is now Internet famous for his enthusiastic (to say the least) account of a car wreck he gave to a local TV station that has made the rounds on the Internet, and introduced the world to a new catch phrase: "reality hits you hard, bro."

See Lindell's video below.

He now has a Facebook "fan" page and is selling T-shirts quoting his catch phrase.

We picked the five best reader captions and put it to a vote.
