A Car Accident

Many people have an accident in their life.Most of them feel it was the end of ther life . I was one of these people .Today I will talk about my experience when I had a bad accident.

In the first week of 2008, I was going with my wife to register for the new ID system . I was driving my Nissan Tiida coming from Al Shamkha area where I live. There was a roundabout ; the law forces the people in the roundabout to stop , so we can proceed , but I prefer to slow down so I make sure that the roundabout is empty . Behind me there was a 6 wheel vehicle, who could see that there was nobody in the roundabout and he was driving too fast . When I was in the middle of the roundabout the 6 wheel driver wanted to go back and make a u –turn but he found me in the roundabout . When I saw him it was too late for me to accelerate and escape . He hit my car from the back and forced me to hit the trees between the two roads. My car moved about 100m before it stopped . I was shocked . The smoke started to come out of my car . I helped my wife to get out of the car . She was unconscious . One local guy stopped his car and helped me . He suggested keeping my wife in his car to relax and cool down . I discovered later the guy was working with the police . The 6-wheel driver stopped his car and ran toward me asking about my situation. I still didn’t believe that I was still alive , thanks God . The car was totally damaged and the insurance canceled it and paid me back.
In fact, this experience has made me more careful on the road, and I expect the mistakes of the other drivers . I’ll never forget this.
