How God Saved Me From Untimely Death by PALAPALA02(m): 8:17pm On Jun 27, 2022 |
Good day all. I want to share with you all what the Lord did for me yesterday o. While at PHC on a business trip from calabar. I arrived phc on sunday and decided to sit out with friends on Wednesday night. After dropping my friends at their house and heading to my hotel room with the aid of the google map, a truck was parked on the speedlane at attilary road at phc at about 2am without having backlights or even putting c-caution. While trying to look at my phone to check where i was heading to and moving at about 100km/hr, as soon as i lifted my head up, a truck was parked at the speedlane with NO backlights and caution sign placed on the road. And that was how i rammed into the truck. But to the glory of God, i came out unscathed. No injury sustained at all. The police said i was wrong to have rammed into the truck from behind regardless of where it was parked or even if it was stationary. They said i ought to have been more careful. Buh i thank God, i am alive, my car got destroyed, but I sustained no injury which is most important. 229 Likes 21 Shares

More pictures Modified To those saying i was probably drunk. I don’t take alcohol or do drugs. I only smoke cigarettes. Not even weed or stuffs like dat. Just cigarettes alone. Ordinary 1 bottle of star will spin me 360degrees. So i wasn’t drunk o I no dey take alchol o Phc is dangerous at night, so me tryna speed up back to my hotel room wasn’t expecting a truck to be parked on the speedlane of a highway (4lane road). Major highway at 2am. But honestly still can’t explain how i came out unscathed. And i came out almost immediately after the impact. No blackouts whatsoever. Though i had my seatbelt on. 43 Likes 3 Shares

Lalasticlala abeg help move to front page o. Let people follow me and rejoice o. Not a single scratch. I have just been going through NL, and even seeing news of other accidents where the impact wasn’t as much as mine and the occupants didn’t survive, yet i survived without a single scratch. Even I can’t explain it. 249 Likes 9 Shares |

PALAPALA02: You were in the wrong because the illegally parked vehicle did not affect your visibility to avoid the accident. I wish you a quick recovery and hope you learn from this unfortunate incident. 42 Likes 1 Share |

aieromon: I understand i have my own faults. I got distracted by the google map on my phone. But was the truck meant to park on the speedlane. And even if it developed a fault, he ought to have used his caution sign and double pointer, atleast that could have alerted me earlier to what was infront of me. Modified I’m not downplaying the fact that i was wrong in certain aspect, but i feel more of the blame should have been on the driver for being careless by not taking the appropriate steps to prevent an accident. A car / truck or whatever can breakdown at anytime, so that’s where the safety kits of the vehicle comes into use. And the driver used none. If he had placed the caution sign atleast 150m from the truck, probably if i had hit that first, that would have prompted me quicker to raise my face and possibly avert the collision. That was my argument with the police. But they kept saying i was wrong to have hit a vehicle from behind. That it shows I wasn’t focused on my driving and completely neglecting the careless driver. I just carried my cross and left. Atleast I’m not at the hospital treating a fractured bone or internal bleeding or anything at all. Well in all, i just thank God for giving me a 2nd shot at life 112 Likes 5 Shares |

PALAPALA02: Brother if you want to live long, don't just thank God. Thoroughly review why this happened and make sure never to make the same mistake in future. If you don't have clear road ahead of you there is not point throttling the car forward. The only way to determine if you have clear road ahead of you is with your eyes. Taking your eyes of the road was wrong! You can only take your eyes off the road if you have first ascertained that there is no object that can stop you in front of you. Even then you need to keep glancing back at the road because conditions can change. Better still you could have set your phone and turned on its turn-by-turn directions ahead of time. Anyone can depress the accelerator of the car, but he who can drive well is he who knows when to stop depressing the accelerator and when to instead depress the brake and how much to depress the brakes to stop the car or combine breaking and steering and acceleration to avoid obstacles. He who can successfully stop the car is the good driver, not he who can speed up the car (as in your case, you drove or sped the car into an obstacle). Agreed the truck was wrongly parked. But it was your duty to spot the truck and stop before you hit the truck. You failed in that duty. Giving this incident too much publicity might not really be in your interest, if the increased publicity results in your being found guilty of traffic violations which you have already admitted above. Go see a doctor, you might have internal injuries, so until that is ruled out don't be too happy. All the same, I thank God for your survival. 91 Likes 7 Shares |

PALAPALA02: You were in a place you didn't know that much, Google map was the only helper on your route, you were speeding as high as 100km/h, you were distracted busy pressing/checking your phone and the only time you found appropriate to make such risky journey was 2am in the midnight. 79 Likes 5 Shares |
