Near Death Experience

So last night around 7 I almost died in a car wreck.  Thankfully my "nascar like driving skills" as Derick's papa called them saved us (and I think God was in that car with me).  We were taking Derick's papa home after a football game and there is a stretch of about 4 lights in a half mile where all the shopping centers are at.  We make it to the 3rd light and we are going straight through and there is an expedition in the left turn lane at a red light waiting to turn into Walmart.  They decided they wanted to go straight and pull out in front of me!  I had just looked up at the light because it just turned yellow and I look back down and it's swerving over.  I jerk my car to the right and then jerk it back to the left.  The tires were squealing, we were turning sideways, and I could feel the car almost flip.  Thank God no other cars were around otherwise it would have been a deadly crash.  This road is normally busy.  I had to pull over at the mall to relax and get my heart rate back down.  I've never been so scared in my life.  I drive an SUV so I was shocked that it didn't flip.  I think at one point we were on 2 wheels.  After we dropped Derick's papa off and came back through that side of the road was filled with cars and I just knew I was so lucky that no one else was around when that happened.

Re: Near Death Experience

  • OMG Elizabeth! Im glad you are all okay. Im sure that was terrifying. People only get worse around the holidays and shopping and etc and seem to have no consideration for pulling out at the last minute. That sounds so scary, im just glad your fine!
  • Ugh...I know exactly where you are talking about and people drive like IDIOTS right there!  I'm so glad you're ok.  That's scary!

  • Wow...I'm glad you are okay! That's scary!
  • Yikes - glad you guys are ok!  This is my LEAST favorite part of this season - the way people forget how to drive because they're too busy/preoccupied/stressed!
  • OMG!  I'm glad you are ok and it really sounds like you had some extra protection that night.

    I'm assuming the stupid car that cut you off just kept on driving and thought you were the crazy driver.

  • Oh my god that is so scary. So glad you are ok.

    My dad used to always give me lectures when I was yonger before I went out and I would always so you don't trust my driving and he would say it's not you I don't trust, it's everyone else. I really know what he means now.

  • I'm so glad you're alright! How scary!!!!

  • Yikes!  I am so happy nothing happened to you guys.  Sounds like God was looking out for you or at least your angel!
  • I don't even know what happened to the other car.  I didn't see them pull up behind me at the next light.  I hope they were just as scared as me!  Probably a good thing I didn't see them because I would have had some not so kind words with them!

  • How scary! I am glad you are ok. You are outside of Boston right? I think I know the exact road you are talking about. We drive through there when we go back and forth from Maine to the Cape. I hate that road!!

    No I'm in rural Southwest Virginia!  I've been through Boston before so I know what kind of traffic you are talking about.
