My Number One Fear

Unfortunately these past few days going home from school, I have seen several car accidents. The first accident I saw was right before the exit split towards Denton/Waco. It was minor but it was still an accident. The bumper of the back of a car had just fallen off. I just hope it was minor enough that no one was not seriously hurt.

Sadly the next few accidents were not the case. On the way towards home near the slit to I-20 Dallas East and Abilene and there was a big semi truck and a regular truck blocking about the whole half right side of the highway. Although I was not able to see much, I did notice the first half of the truck was all smooshed in as well as the semi truck. After seeing that accident, I was stopped up by the exit on McCart only to realize there was another car incident that appeared the car somehow managed to drive into the pole. Thank goodness I was not able to see anything much, but all I can do is everyone in the car will be okay. So in total, I saw three accidents all on one trip coming home from school. 

The next day later I saw an accident that I have to say was the worst accident I have seen growing up. It was right in the middle of the intersection between McCart and Westcreek. I was driving down the road and it took over 40 minutes to go down the stretch which was only less than a mile length. As I drove closer, I noticed there was a lady police officer constructing traffic even when the traffic lights were working properly. All of the four lanes had to merge to one lane on the right. There was a firetruck blocking something but I didn't think much of it until I was finally able to drive forward. Behind the firetruck, were two badly damaged cars. Both cars had the whole front pushed in and what made me truly heartbroken was the trail of fluid that led about 2 meters long. It appeared they have covered with it with cat litter or sand. It may could have been easily car fluids they covered up and not blood. I did only get about 5 quick seconds to observe the scene. But within the few second, I couldn't help but think the worse of the accident, and it may very well have been or maybe it was a tragic accident. I will never know, but I can do is pray there are all okay that was involved in the incident.

My number one fear is losing a love one to a tragic car accident. I have a big fear of spiders, but losing someone I love will always be a bigger fear to me. Even if that meant having a mini heart attack of a hairy tarantula running towards me. I rather have that over the news of a loved one being involved of an accident. 

I wish accidents never had to happen and I'm sure everyone else acknowledge that too, but they do happen. They are inevitable and most of the time are something that is out of our control that just happens. 

I know in certain situations we can't do much, but the least we can all is be extra careful when crossing intersections, drive at a reasonable safe speed, and don't have poor judgement. And most importantly don't drink and drive! :D
