Personal Narrative: My Car Crash

Decent Essays
My car looked like a crime scene. A black Yukon with dark tinted windows parked at a strange angle, the nose of the car pointing straight at my house, thrown into park in a crisis. Driver door left wide open. No driver to be found.

As my husband got closer to the car, he saw vomit all over the steering wheel, chunks splattered inside of the door. Dripping from the speaker.

Whatever happened must have happened in the last hour.

He ran inside to find me laying still, eyes shut, fully clothed, a full face of make-up, hair coiffed with ample TV-ready hairspray.

Yikes, this was a bad one.

No need to call for help, he knew what had hit.

A migraine of monstrous proportions just as I was on deadline for the five o’clock newscast.

    It was a sunny day and all was well; until we heard a bang sound come from in-front of us. Dad, Mom, Josh (my little brother), and myself all witnessed a red pick-up truck strike a SUV head on; but what we then realized was the red pick-up fleeing the scene. He sped past us going at least sixty mph down a hill through a fifty mph zone. We proceeded down the hill because we were heading home and it just so happened to be the same direction he fled. We saw him swerve around a car, but he did not get lucky trying to avoid the other car zooming around the corner in the other lane; he also hit that car…

    When I realized what had happened I started to sweat bullets and my friends had such a shocked and mortified expression that it just made me more terrified. I backed the car up and went outside with the others to see the damage that the crash had caused and I almost wish I had not gotten out. The whole front bumper of the car seemed broken and I felt my hopes of it being “just a scratch” crash and burn inside me. We parked the car near the gas station to try and see what we could do to fix it which was almost nothing. The manager of the station even came outside and told us “just put it in the trunk and go!”…

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    This chapter reminded me of a vacation that my family and I took to the Grand Canyon when I was in middle school. On this particular vacation, I had gotten my hands on one of those books that you just can’t put down. I quickly learned the art of walking and reading at the same time. I was good at avoiding collisions with other people. Correction: other people were good at avoiding collisions with me.…

    I should be used to the fact that my luck with cars has been passed down to me from my dad. We have had horrible luck with vehicles! I am kind of wondering when this run of bad vehicles will end for me? My recent vehicle has been in and out of the shop since I bought it a year and a half ago, so have not owned it for too long and it already gives me a headache when I think about it. I got the car all on my own…

    I remember a thunk on my head…and then me hitting her across the jaw; she spun around and collapsed to the ground. I remember going back to work the next morning, with a horrendous headache, pulling a double shift so my boss could celebrate Christmas with her family, going home and sleeping for five-hours, and then going back to work for my typical eight-hour shift. What I don’t seem to remember is collapsing at the…

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…
