My Wreck
My wreck happened this year on July 25. It was about 11:45 at night when it happened and was the scariest moment of my life. I was driving a Tahoe which are SUV's and I am lucky I was in that instead of my car because I would have got crushed. I was going out to Ozark to one of my friends house when I crashed on NN. The speed limit was 55 and I was going about 45 miles per hour. They had just paved NN so it had about a 1 inch lip on the side of the road. I was driving and look over to turn the air down and when I looked back up I was going off the road. I tried to correct the car but it lost control. The right front tire popped which is what I think made me loose control because as soon as I got back up on the road my car immediately swerved to the left, then the right, and left again, and then flipped 3 times. When all this was happening I didn't know what to do. All I could hear was the tires squealing and then the crunching of the car. I had my seat belt on thank God because they said if I wouldn't have had my seat belt on I would have been ejected from the vehicle and would have probably died. When they told me that I was terrified because it only takes a second to do something wrong in a car and you can die. It was also the first wreck I had every been in and was the scariest moment I had ever experienced. It was really surprising though because the Tahoe didn't really look that bad. None of the windows were busted out, the only window that got cracked was the front windshield. The top rails on top of the car where ripped off and then the step stools on each side but other than that there really wasn't much damage which was really surprising. I was taken to the hospital after my wreck and found out that I had a hip contusion and a back sprain from the seat belt holding me in and from me holding onto the steering wheel so tight. I couldn't move for about 2 days after my wreck because I was so sore and miserable. Any time I drive now I am very careful because I don't want anything to happen again like that to me or anyone else in my family that is in the car with me.
