Accident
Last night on my way to Dave's house, making a right hand turn, I decided I was going too fast and wanted to keep driving to prevent crashing. I started to change lanes and realized that car was sliding and heading into the fast lane and soon, into oncoming traffic. I turned the wheel a slight right to get back into the lane and the wheels hit black ice.
My car spun out almost 180 degrees and I saw the huge snow bank heading towards me pretty quick.
I had no flashbacks, no thoughts of loved ones. Only, what would happen in the aftermath. I foresaw glass smashing in and the door caving, my crumpled body against the wheel, no airbags, a mess.
I screamed and it echoed. I hit.
I came too a few seconds later, shaken and took me a while to realize where I was and what had happened. I began to cry from shock. I called David right away and he said he would be there in a few minutes.
I put my cell away and looked up. A car slowly approached with his emergency lights on. I crawlled out the passenger side because the driver's side was up against snow. "Holy fuck." I got out and took a look at the driver's side. Crushed.
Glass was still in place, not like I had "foreseen", just a big dent. The back wheels were off the ground. The owner of the house drove up and a crowd started to gather to ask me what had happened. David and his friend Jeff got there seconds later. The cops arrived since the station was right across the street.
The men put a wooden board between my front bumper and Jeff's 4-wheel drive and pushed my car onto the street.
I went back to Dave's cold and terrified. If I was going any faster, the door would've come in and I would've landed myself in hospital. Get winter tires!!!
