I had not ever been in a car accident before in my life, so when I experienced one, I did not enjoy nearly dying. It happened four years ago, I can still vividly remember everything. I was with my sister, Nakesha, she was driving since I was not old enough to drive yet. We were having a good day and had decided to go to my dad’s for a while to see him since our parents are divorced. We spent a considerable amount of time with our dad who kept making us laugh like he always does. I could not have imagined that the day could take a turn for the worse, but of course life throws everyone curveballs and we were about to face ours.

The car was on the trailer and my dad and the man, who’s name wasn’t given to me, worked to see what was busted on the underside of the car. Apparently it was a lot because they came to the conclusion that the car could not run until all of it was fixed or it could catch on
