:: It was an accident, but not the bad one.

I got an accident today. Doesn't really sound like I really got one? Okay, let me rephrase. I got a car accident today, I wasn't the pedestrian or just the witness. I was in a car and I didn't drive, my friend, though. I sat on the passanger side and suddenly this car came towards us and hit us so bad.

The story begun when I and my friend went to Savos to give away some stuffs then we were driving away to Westgate Bridge because my friend wanted to pay for the toll bill (eTag). The closest Coles Express is on Westgate Bridge, around 10 mins from our apartment so there we went.

Then after every business is done, we decided to go home. Until at one intersection between Montague St. and Mourne St and we decided to go straight. We were on Montague St and we were waiting for the cars at Mourne St. stopped (it was traffic Mourne St). It was clear after a while and my friend drove straight and we forgot of something....

There is another direction of Mourne St. that we didn't aware of. So when we passed the road {after we thought it was safe}, there was a car came in towards us [I think the car was about 60 or 70 km/h] from the other direction. And the car bang my friend's car, hitting the passanger side, where I did sit on. The sound of two cars crashing each other was definetely freaked me like hell. I couldn't do anything, and that time I realized if there's anything bad happened, it would only be me. The crash shoke my body and suddenly the left parts of my body felt were sore.

My friend lost control of the car. The car hit the side of the road, hit the fence of an office that situated at the corner of the road. Then the car stopped. We were looking of each other, checking ourselves and tried to take control of this situation. My body was trembling, my heart was beating so quick and suddenly my head was like spinning. But afterwards, it was okay.

Then my friend went out to approach this guy, who hit our car. They exchanged information and asking our condition. Then this guy told me, if he was driving faster than he did, I might get killed. I am fully aware of that. The only thing I could do is just thank to God because His angels came on the right time to protect me :)

Even though he was the one hit our car, but according to the rules it was my friend's mistake to drive across the street without gave way when there is give way sign. Of course she knew about it, she just didn't realize.

Last but not least, I and my friend are okay. We discussed about it all day and you know what... after a while I realized, it was good that I didn't see the car when it was coming towards us. If I did, I think I'd get a lifetime trauma and unforgetable nightmare before christmas! For sure...
