Car Accident Story
March 21st, 2007 by junyenSeremban, Nilai : One fine day, Steven suppose to meet his friend Ivan for lunch in 1Utama and later go for a movie Primeval. He left his house around 1pm and was suppose to meet his friend in 1Utama at 1pm (wake up late). So he speed. Too bad, the highway (Seremban-Kuala Lumpur Highway) is kinda heavy traffic. Even though he is driving on the outmost lane (fast lane) he can only manage at the speed of 110km/h. There is alot of cars doing stunts at that time where they go all the way from inner lane to outer lane and back to inner lane. But there is this particular car (Peugeot) whois the master of all stunts. We shall call him Peugeot from now on. Peugeot even took the emergency lane to overtake cars.
At first Peugeot was behind Stevens car. Peugeot fly all the way to the inner lane to overtake some slow cars in the middle lane (Nilai stretch is 3 lanes highway). But there is this Naza Ria whois in the inner lane driving kinda slow. So he have no other choice to take the emergency lane to overtake Naza. Somehow, Steven believe that infront of this Naza, there is a car going kinda slow too. So Naza decided to use the emergency lane as well to overtake it. But Naza din’t notice that the hero Peugeot is already next to his car. Peugeot is shocked to see Naza getting closer to him so he avoided by moving to the left abit. Somehow with the speed Peugeot is going somewhere around 130km/h (he overtake Stevens while he was driving at 110km/h easily) and the sudden shift to avoid the Naza, he started to lose control. Once Steven saw Peugeot in an unstable state, (left and right and left) Steven started to hit his brake a little already.
At that time Steven still on the outer lane (3rd lane) driving at 110km/h (or more, can’t remember) while Peugeot is in the emergency lane. Steven was about 50 metres away from Peugeot. Thats is why Steven saw the whole thing how it happen from the start.
Steven started to brake a little at first. But once he saw Peugeot really lose control and suddenly swift all the way to the right, he strait away HIT THE BRAKE (Emergency brake this time). From the emergency lane, Peugeot was going diagonally to the outer lane very fast. Steven try to avoid hitting Peugeot by turning to the left and right but somehow he don’t have enough time and space to do it…So they crashed. Peugeot crashed into Stevens car front left side and push him all the way to crash into the devider. So he actually crashed into the devider on his front right this time. After that his car lifted and landed on the ground twice. Once Stevens car is stalled, his car was right in the middle of the outer and middle lane DIAGONALLY. On his right will be the road ahead to Kuala Lumpur where else on his left he sees cars coming towards him.
Steven look to his left immidietly and he saw two cars, one on the outer lane and another one on the middle lane. Both driving FAST towards his car. Without wasting time, Steven tried to open his car door to escape (try to run out from the car) but he is kinda panic where he can’t manage to open the door. And he look back to the left only to find that the cars is SO NEAR TO HIM already. He just close his eyes.
During the interview Stevens says "I don’t know what to do already at that time. I just close my eye and ask myself, will this gonna end here? At that momment I thought about alot of things even those people whois important to me."
After a while Steven open his eye back only to find that he is still alive and also a MASSIVE JAM on the highway plus smokes coming out from his bonet. Such a relief he calmly turn off his car engine, take his wallet, handphone and opens his car door calmly and get out from his car. He saw some liquid flowing out from his car. At that seconds he thought it was petrol, so he faster distance himself from his car worrying that it might explode.
After that drama, he just SAT ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE OUTER LANE (who else can do this) and look at his car (maybe waiting for it to explode to see another series of drama). Started with a smile and later he laugh. He said "Wow, with my car condition and what happen just now, i am still alive". After awhile sitting on the road, the PlusLine car came to help. They pulled Stevens car to the emergency lane to avoid traffic jam becoming worst.
That’s the story about the car accident. Now i am stuck with my old car, Nissan Sunny for a week until it is handed over to the new owner. After all this, my car air bag doesn’t explode out. Wondering why it doesn’t. Is it faulty or the impact is not strong enough. Hmmm…
Took off on Monday to settle some insurance issues and also went to Nissan Workshop in Seremban to see how things goes. Even went to see doctor as i am suffering from some very bad neck and arm pain. Maybe from the effect of the accident. On my way back to my house, i nearly meet another accident. There is this car who shoot traffic light to make a turn. I did a emergency brake again and nearly crash into him. Somehow this time i make it in time as he sped off and i continue my journey back. Once i reach home, i received a phone call from my engineer informing me that my database server crashed causing my system down.
Somehow i guess i was strike with bad luck all the way. Yesterday need to work for super long hours to get my database server and system up running normal. Maybe thats what people called, The Murphy Laws. But still, thank God that i am still holding on to it until now. Thank God that i am still alive after that accident. Thank God that i still have a job. Thank God that my Server and System is fix. Thank God that besides neck and arm pain there is no other serious injuries.
Thank God for everything that he gave and plan for us.
