Narrative Writing Car Accident
On average
118 car are
involved in car accidents daily. While cars are one of the safest modes of
transportation, there
are always risks involved. But most times you don’t pay much attention to
these risks.
My day started out as a quiet peaceful day, I woke up, had breakfast and
went about my
day. I had a long list of chores to do that day, the first thing on the list was to
mow the grass. I
enjoy mowing the grass, because it gives me time to think about things, and
enjoy the nice
weather. Next i had to feed our dogs, our dogs are two great Pyrenees, they
are the fluffiest
dogs I’ll ever see. They really enjoy playing with each other and jumping in
puddles. After I was
done feeding the dogs i had to feed our five cats, our cats have a wide
variety of colors and
your shoulder whenever it can. After that i was off to the shop to get my
chainsaw so i could
clear a path through the forest for my dad’s skid steer to fit through. That
was all the chores I had
I still had a couple other things I had to do that day, after I ate dinner, I
wanted to go to
the gym, and then to church, on Fridays they have youth group, and it had
been a few weeks
since the last time I had gone. We loaded up my mom’s Honda odyssey and
set off. We enjoyed
riding in the car with my mom because she let us roll the windows down in
her car, whereas my dad didn’t allow us. We had our favorite music playing
and were cruising. Once we got to the
intersection that leads to the gym my mom said that she wanted to go
straight across the
highway to go and stop by our old house to check the mail, usps would
sometimes deliver our mail over there.
The gym was towards the right of the intersection. We drove across
the
highway and we were in the middle of the two highways waiting for traffic to
clear up. Then out
of nowhere my mom pushes the gas. “MOM MOM MOM”. i shouted,” there’s a
car coming,
stop”. But before she was able to react the car had already collided with us.
There are a couple
things that happened that I had no knowledge that they could, the first being
that my phone
screen it durable and fragile at the same time, I noticed this when it flew out
the window
and about 20 feet and didn't get damaged at all. The second thing i noticed
is that despite
airbags being cushions of air they really hurt when you get hit in the face
with one. The third
thing I noticed was that despite everything that was going on I was
surprisingly in a calm state. I
knew that I had gotten lucky because the car that collided with us hit the
front passenger side of
our car, if we would have been going faster or that car turning, it would have
hit the passenger
The next important step was when I was calling 911 and trying to tell them
where we were.
After I finished calling 911 and telling them where we were I focused on
getting my mom out of the car and to the side of the road, she said she had
hurt her ribs. I grabbed the handle of the driver door and pulled it open , the
door was really hard to pull open because the fender was bent and catching
on the door. By the time I got her out the police had made it too the place of
the accident, the first thing I remember him asking was, “are all of you guys
okay”? I said,
“We all are but my mom thinks she bruised a rib”. Shortly after that the
paramedics arrived with about three other police cars. The adrenalin finally
wore off and I realized that my hand hurt bad and that there was a small cut
on it, but it was just a small cut, but I had bigger issues to worry about. At
the time of the accident my dad was completely unaware of what was going
on so I called him and told him to come to the accident so we could unload
some of our belongings from the car because they were going to tow the car.
The ambulance came and took my mom to the hospital, my dad took us to
the gym and then dropped us off at church and went to the hospital to
check on my mom. My moms ended up having 3 bruised ribs and was
overall pretty shaken up by the whole ordeal, the lady in the car that we
collided with ended up injuring her arm but they both made a full recovery
and are doing well, I’m not sure what happened to the other person, but I
haven’t heard from them ever since.
