Default Help to find story based on GURPS Magic

Some time ago, I read this story online, but now I can't find it again. Does anyone recognize it from the following description, and have a link?

A man (I think he was a Canadian physics student) is out driving. The weather is bad, and he drives off the road (or bridge?) and crashes. When he wakes up, he's been transported Banestorm-style to a land inhabited by elves. After he's received treatment from his injuries, he finds a book about magic and eventually learns that he has a talent for this. He leaves for a school where he can develop his magic. Adventures ensue.

The author based the magic system in the story on the default GURPS magic system.

Maybe it's a time travel story starring Kromm?

I think he's scheduled to write it once the 2021 PDF Challenge Kickstarter is completed.

There is also Yrthbound The Brothers War where the cast of Ranma is dropped into Yrth.

The story was probably "Oh This Has Not Gone Well" by the redditor u/ThisHasNotGoneWell.

It can be found in the r/HFY reddit.

There are some spin-off stories by others set in the same universe, as well. "That Could Have Gone Better" and "At Least It Can't Get Worse" are two of those.
