Falling
Sitting in my car, the crash replaying in my mind I knew at that moment this was something I would never forget. I have happened so fast, but it was embedded in my brain.
I was driving to Tahoe and it had started to snow before I had even left. Then suddenly it stopped and I knew that was bad news. The snow would freeze and turn to ice, making it incredibly unsafe. I should have pulled over then and spent the night at the next Motel 6, but I didn't. Big mistake, huge.
I kept driving; I thought I would be okay. I had chains on my tires and my car had 4-wheel drive. I wasn't nervous until I felt the car turn a bit, and then even out. I was up in the mountains, alone.
The car swerved a bit, against my will, the car some how a mind of its own had. I tried to steady out but I was nervous and I wasn't ready for what would happen next.
Suddenly, I hit a sheet of ice and I was doing a 360. I spun around once and without stopping spun around the corner. The spinning sped me up and I realized the car right behind me was very close. I drove around the next corner and hit another patch of ice. When I evened out, there was a car right behind me.
The driver, not seeing me, rammed me into a ditch on the side of the road, near the mountain. The driver spinning was driving right along the fence, the only thing keeping it from driving off the cliff.
I watched in horror as the driver neared an area where the fence hadn't been built. The car swerved and FEEL!
