The first time I had a car accident I was a sophomore in High School. Driving back from picking up my last check of the summer was a day that I will always remember! Heather was concentrating on driving but never expected what would happen just 5 minutes away from our destination! Driving through the rain wasn’t an issue until we went around the curves right as you come to the edge of our town. Heather wasn’t driving fast. However, when we came around the second corner there was a car coming from the other side as well. She drifted off to the other side of the road a little. When she saw the oncoming car she jerked back a little too much on the steering wheel. As she began to go in the ditch she jerked the wheel back the other direction as to not go in the ditch. As she tried to keep the car from swerving out of control the car hit a culvert and began to flip from front to back! The car rolled over once, then began to roll from side to side 2 or 3 times until it finally landed on the hood leaving us both trapped unconscious inside. The airbags knocked us both unconscious and burned our faces. As they drug us out of the car, I brushed the dirt off of my jeans and realized how lucky we both were to have survived. The blue car with it’s smashed in hood and windows looked nothing like the beautiful blue car I was once so excited to drive. It had long scratch marks down the sides and lots of paint missing
