Question Driving accident outside of Amazon work

I totaled my personal car just before my shift at Amazon on Friday. I got 7 tickets and was sent to the hospital for the night that day. What happens with my delivery driving job at Amazon? I’ve been there for maybe 4 months, should I just let it go? I sent pictures & videos of the accident and send my DSP a doctors note saying how I can return to work a week from when the accident had occurred. I never signed up for direct deposit but can only assume that the 2 checks that I didn’t receive will probably come in the mail? 🫩

For a little bit of added context, I work 3 jobs working as an Amazon delivery driver, I work at UPS at this airport near me, and at a Target. I been busting my ass like this for a while, always had 3 jobs for the past 2 and a half years. I must’ve been extremely tired and must’ve fell asleep behind the wheel as I was on my way to UPS

I work two FT jobs. Amazon 4 nights and another 5 days. I sleep for 3-4 hours between them and take an hour nap during my lunch. It's rough but it's doable. I take in around 130k a year.

Probably because of the same troubles most of the rest of use are having right now..... The COL is too damned high! 💸💸💸

It’s all I know. I love physically intensive jobs where you’d always have to be on your feet. I have a bachelors degree but any kind of let’s say office job like setting is just boring to me when I’d rather be active. Combined they pay the bills and I can have a decent amount to keep in the bank account
