How I Survived An Accident Today (pics) by iwant2beheard: 3:01pm On Apr 02, 2015
I sincerely thank God for my life! I thank God for my mum's life!

My mum insisted I took her to the hospital, she had a hard time yesterday having her good night sleep (as her BP has been on the high), I had to take permission off work in order to take her...

Our mission was to go to general hospital (at ikorodu, opp high court), we left home at about 11.30 am.

We were coming from ebute (I stay at alogba estate), as we passed the mobil filling station and about climbing the hill towards general hospital, I noticed a big truck coming with full speed with its back, I immediately swerved to the on coming car's lane (fortunately there was no car coming), somehow, the truck swerved in that direction and all I could hear was a loud GBOA!!!, my mum was trapped at the driver seat and was in a serious shock, I ran down (instinctively) to start waving all the cars down(so as not to hit my precious mum. It created a big traffic but alas, the police came to take the cars to one side.

Bottom line is, I am safe, and so is my mum, no injuries (except minor scratches), we thank the lord!

Amen!!
I only wish the painters at Alaba Int'l Market yesterday were fortunate enough.
The metal ladder they were painting a three-storey building on fell backwards and made contact with a high tension wire. Instantly, their bodies were slashed and baked all over. You don't want to see it yourself, man. One could move his head at least and was rushed to the hospital with a keke. The other was worse off. Even the army had to clear a lane and stop a driver to take him to the hospital. You won't believe that the driver tried to escape, thereby incurring the wrath of the army who beat him to a pulp. The man was eventually taken to a hospital but frankly, no one believes he will survive.
We all have to look around us and find great reasons to thank God despite our difficulties.

The police were around by then, I needed picture of the event for reference purposes should in case the culprit should start changing the story...

That was why I had to take the pics, I love my mum and am not heartless!

the eediot had an over load!

He was driving with gear one and as he was approaching the top of the hill, the car refused to go forward and the brake failed!, the bus started coming back, the gear box busted and he was at the lord's mercy!

Check out the pics you would discover he was heading to the canal (the full load did not afford him to see his back), people were many at the bustop (that bustop is a meat market), if my car did not block him, he would have killed people at the bustop, and also himself (according to police findings), so I am like a hero!

He has taken my car to the mech and taken full responsibility!

@ seun , lalasticlala. Help me thank God by doing the needful...

I hope you're not thinking of repairing that damage.

The car has done its job, sacrificed its all important B pillar to save your mum.

Part it out and sell the rest as scrap.

Nigerians sha, una too much.

my brother may accident never be your portion!

I really don't understand people anymore, why would you think I would lie about being involved in an accident? Or did I drop my account number for donations?

I never mentioned big truck, I said a 'truck', maybe I should have just said 'danfo' and you would have been satisfied!

The minor scratches occurred from the bursting of glass windows!

If you have been involved in an accident before, you would know that if you are right, you would have to take pictures before the vehicles are moved.

If you read the story well, I said the truck driver had a brake failure and started to move backwards of the hill, those that stays/knows that area would understand perfectly well, similar accidents have been occurring there!

Lastly! I really don't need you to believe, if you can't thank God for me, then really, no need to insult or comment at all, I was only using this medium to thank God, don't bother to believe,ok?

You actually did say "Big truck" and I expected to see one but all I saw was a mini bus. It is well, we thank God for you and your mother.

I had to lower the chair backwards so that she could relax before she engaged in the cumbersome exiting from the driver's door.

She is ok and her bp is fine thanks to God
