A Close Shave
When one usually steps into a car takes safety for granted. Most people don’t even think twice about jumping into a car to go from one place to another. Being in a car, whether driving or riding is a daily routine for almost everyone. A beautiful sunny September day was a day I will never forget, a day that changed my life.
It was a day like most other long and stressful work days. I was ready to get home, make some dinner and get ready for a ladies night, but that never happened.
I picked up my cell phone to call my mum as I did on most days after work. We chatted for a few minutes and then ended our conversation. I turned on the engine and turned right out of the parking lot, than drove off to the next stop sign. While looking both ways I noticed a white van which was still in the far distance so I took the left turn. As I turned I was faced with a truck, which turned out to be a commercial truck. All I remember hearing was the crashing of mashing metal. Needless to say my beloved car that I had worked so hard for appeared to be destroyed in just a few seconds.
