Thank you lord Jesus Christ!
I have been traveling in company vehicle for years now and have never been personally involved in any kind of accident while going or returning from work.But there's always a first time for everything and this was so.Its still fresh in my mind ...took place just hours ago while coming to work and luckily haven't even got a scratch.
I woke up rather late (at 0450 hrs instead of 0400) and hurriedly got ready as the cab was already waiting for me.The Driver had come quiet early and gone off to sleep in the car with the car AC on. I somehow woke him and we left for office at 0510 hrs. He was driving half asleep and wasn't able to negotiate turns however i though that the sleep would wear off as time passed by.On the way there was a sharp "L" turn that is dangerous and he was unable to judge the bend. i was in the front passenger seat with my window glass rolled down, everything happened so quickly that there was no time to react and i was a mere spectator to the incident as if i wasn't there. The car brushed a tree on the left and missed actually going off road it then severed right and instead of taking the left turn went straight in to a tree off the road. Thankfully he severed left again narrowly missing a huge mango tree and the car came to a halt just beside the road on the wrong side.This had made a loud noise and lights went on in the nearby house, the driver was fully awake by now. I had gotten off the car and walked a few feet away completely dazed.
(to be honest i found my hands shivering a bit) I asked the driver to get out and check the car. It seemed to be fine and then he was able to get it back on the road. 2 people woken up by the rukus had come to investigate. Sensing that there would be undue attention i asked the driver to continue after i thanking the onlookers for their concern.
