Then after five minutes I start heading south on the Sheridan road to drop the girls at their house. Just before I reach Broadway and Devon I heard someone calling my name “Yonas please wake up wake up”. I saw my car going in the wrong direction towards the street light, I panicked and hit the accelerator pedal that makes the accident horrendous.

I often have nightmares at night about the accident, it wakes me up in the middle of night thinking how intolerable it was. Our life can be taken away from us with in a single minute if we do not drive cautiously.
