My sister was in a wreck yesterday!
My sister walked away from a crash yesterday that she shouldn't have survived.
There was a line of 18 wheelers trying to cross the road in front of her. The first one went no problem and then the 2nd one pulled out infront of my sister who was probably going around 70. My sister couldn't stop in time. She slammed on her breaks (her anti-lock brakes didn't work) and turned the wheel to the right so she wouldn't go under the 18 wheeler. At the last second, her car finally responded and turned slightly so it wasn't a straight head on t-bone. She punctured his gas tank (which thankfully didn't explode). Oh, and her air bags did not deploy. SHe walked away from the wreck a bit shakey. She has a bruise on her shoulder and across her stomach from the seat belt, and her arm is starting to hurt today...but she walked away from her car being totaled. Talk about freaking out when we got that phone call. I went to my sister's that night to see for myself that she was fine and didn't get home tell LATE last night. I'm just glad she's alive today!

Oh man, thank God she was wearing her seatbelt. I make sure I wear mine everytime I'm in a car. Anything could happen.
Glad she's okay, D. |

yeah, i'm glad she's ok. in my friend's accident they were hit by a semi and her sisters lived because they WEREN'T wearing seatbelts, otherwise the semi would have crushed them, but she was thrown out of the car and killed, saving her four-month-old neice. so i don't know whether wearing a seatbelt would have saved her life or if she was just screwed and would have had to choose between her own life and her niece's regardlessly. but hell, the fact that she chose her niece's makes it a somewhat happy ending.

Wow, that's scary.
I've never been in a large-scale accident, but I can imagine what it's like. What kind of car was it? |
