I hate car crashes. I have only been in a few in my life but they are the worst.
When I was 14 I was in a pretty bad crash with my mother. We were driving along the freeway in AZ around the Gila Bend area. (For those who don't know, pretty much the middle of nowhere!) I was reading a book (I remember we were listening to The Phantom of the opera) suddenly I looked up and we were in the big dirt median crashing through sagebrush. My mom tried to correct and get us back on the road or whatever and next thing I know we are flying across the freeway toward a fence. I remember thinking "Oh my goodness, I'm about to die!" I remember nothing after that until I woke up and we were upside down in a wash (where water flows during AZ downpours, flash floods etc.) Amazingly we both walked away without serious injuries. We were truly blessed. I even had felt moved to get in the front of the truck rather than the bed of the truck which was covered and we had decked out with a mattress etc. (This was a few years ago lol) At any rate I had an amazing experience that saved my life. After the crash they found the mattress over 30 feet away from the truck.
The next accident was a little nothing where some guy pulled out in front of me and my brother when I was about 16. A fender bender, no biggee (A pain to deal with but no injuries)
Last week I was in the first crash of my adult life, and the first of my entire life that I was actually driving. I'm still not positive what happened. Nothing serious happened and no one was hurt. A fender bender really. I mean my poor car is in the shop for who knows how long but it could have been much worse. The worst part of the ordeal was the airbags going off. It is loud and whatever they use to deploy them gave me a nasty burn on my arm.
SO I've decided, no more accidents for me, thank you! I just don't like them and ask all drivers out there to please drive carefully. You know, use your blinkers, stop at red lights, don't speed, don't crash into me...just basic stuff. ;)
If you would be so kind, I would appreciate it immensely! Thanks!
Seriously though, I hope that is the last crash I will ever be a part of, they are really not fun. ;)
Drive safe all!
Wow what a story with the truck! Thank goodness you listened to the Spirit!! Accidents are the worst, i just want my car to be stolen. :)
