Don't take life for granted

I apologize for the delay in posting up news, I had a major setback this week. On Tuesday, September 11th at 8:00 PM, my car slammed into a telephone pole at 50 MPH. I was making my way home from dinner with my team, and the conditions were wet and slippery. The day prior to the accident, the road had been paved and the white line on the right hand side was thus concealed. I was unable to make out where the road had ended and where the grass started, and I turned to sharp. My right front tire caught the grassy edge and put my car into a spin. After hydroplaning on the wet road and grass for approximately 150 feet, my car spun directly into a telephone that hit my driver side door. Had it not been for the fire hydrant just 6 feet in front of the telephone pole, I would have been dead or seriously wounded. Miraculously, I crawled out of the totaled car with nothing but a sore hip. I'm lucky to be alive, and I no longer take life for granted. Most people thing that these kinds of things will never happen to them: I was one of them. For all those out there who drive: please be safe and don't be a reckless driver. I almost lost my life to this car accident, and I would hate to see the same pain I'm going through now (without a car) affect anyone else. I will get some more posts up as soon as possible, and thanks for your understanding. No one has commented on this article. Please login or register to post comments. J!
