Car Accident
When I was 16, I was driving to Cedar Rapids for a soccer game with my friend. I was about 30 minutes into the drive when I saw my life flash before my eyes. I was driving on the highway and there were no cars around me, but I looked over at my friend when we were talking and then I realized that I was slowly going off on the shoulder of the road and when I hit the gravel on the side of the road, it scared me so much that I turned the stirring wheel so fast and we began to swerve. I tried to overcorrect myself and get back on the road, but I was continuing to swerve at about 65 mph. Then all of the sudden the car was rolling. I hit my head on the top of the ceiling and I could barely see anything. The car landed on it's wheels and all that I could see what shattered windows and pieces of glass all over me. My friend was completely shocked in the passenger sit, but also calm at the same time. I broke down. There were instant tears and I called my dad right away. I was shaking so much that I couldn't even talk to him. The guy in the car behind me stopped to make sure that I was okay and to call the police. A few minutes later the ambulance and police came to get us and I was taken out on a stretcher. My friend thought it was funny and she was all worried because he lost her shoe in the crash. We both came out with just a few scratches and bruises and I will forever be thankful for whoever was looking out for me on that day. I literally saw my life flash before my eyes and it happened in a matter of 10 seconds. It's was the scariest thing I have ever been too and it made me realize how something really bad can happen in so little time and you never know when it could happen.
