Car accident

I left the office around 5:01 pm on July 30,2007. The rain was pouring really hard the whole afternoon. When I was about to leave, Megan kept on saying , " Drive carefully" . I dont know why she said that..maybe becuase it was raining so hard , or maybe it was a sign that something wrong will happen to me.

I was already on I-526 westbound, and the car was fine that whole time that I drove from the office up to top of the bridge. When I was going downhill, I noticed that the brake wasn't working, so I started to panick and I immediately went to the shoulder of the road. The traffic was so backed up that time, since it was raining and it was during the rush hour. I think the traffic was moving maybe 5 miles per hour or maybe they are fully stopped, except me. When I was already at the shoulder, I pushed the brake as hard as I can, but the car still keeps moving especially we were heading down. I was screaming to my lungs, and I even roll the window down as I was driving , asking for help. ( I think people think I was crazy ) . And then the car keeps going on and on .. and all I did was asking God to help me. I remember saying these words, " Please Lord, help me Lord!, Please Lord, help me Lord!. And when I saw the truck, I said to myself, I am going to hit the truck! I think the car was running like 20mph. As I was about the hit the truck, I just closed my eyes , cover my face with my arms, and said. " I AM GOING TO DIE, AND THIS IS IT" .

After I hit the 18 wheelers truck, ( with loaded 40 foot container ) . The car that I was driving still keeps on running until there was no place to go. I got stucked between the big truck and bridge wall. It took me about 5 minutes or more to get out of the car , since I can't opened both doors. On the driver side, there was the truck and on the passenger side, there was the bridge wall. I was trying to get out of the car from the passenger side, but there's no way, I might fell on the bridge since the car was almost to the edge. When I opened my eyes, I said. " Oh I am still alive" . I was shaking , but I didnt cry at all until somebody was there. I think when you are shock, sometimes you can't shed tears at all, that's what happens to me. I only got bruises on both arms, ( worse on my left ), this was when the air bag deployed. And a little bruises in between my neck and shoulder due to a seat belt. And oh.. my left knee also hurts, but not really bad. I dont break any bones or my neck. God is good.. and I know He was there with me .

You probably think I am crazy for hitting that big truck, but I dont have a choice. If I stayed on the lane , that would a create a pile of cars on the road and I could have killed someone and maybe I am a history now.

Our insurance company told me that the car is totaled, which I already expected. I really asked God why this happened to me, but I am just thankful that He gave me another chance to live. I am so grateful that He was there with me. I might not able to know the reason , but one thing I know for sure. " All things work together for good to those who love God" .
