Many years ago, I was in a car accident when an idiot stomped on his brakes on the freeway...in the center lane. I did a collision avoidance swerve and would have made it...if my left front tire hadn't caught the edge of the median. Did 3 flips in the air and 2 rolls on the ground. Came to a rest, upside down, swinging from my seatbelt/shoulder harness, in the middle of the meridian. I remember Tina Turner's version of "Proud Mary" was playing on my car radio. In the emergency room, the investigating officer told me that an accident like the one I had always decapitates the driver and cripples everyone else. It usually crushes the driver's side of the roof and rips it sideways. For some reason, it ripped the other way. I came out of it with a little glass in my thigh. I was very lucky. When the ambulance arrived, all the witnesses left. The van sped off. So, apologetically, the policeman cited me for sneezing and causing the accident. Yep. I watch other drivers even more carefully, since then. The car was totalled. 1984 Toyota Tercel wagon. It saved my life. (Maybe you'd like to hear about the other dirver who caused me to shove a McDonald's apple pie up my nose...for real.)
