I was almost killed today in my car?
I was nearly killed today. I was stopped at a traffic light waiting on it to turn. When it turned green, I proceeded straight across a 4-lane highway. Suddenly, I looked to my left and there was a large pick-up pulling a large trailor with a huge piece of equipment; like a backhoe or something barreling straight towards me, going way to fast, especially for a busy street thats lined up with businesses. This was no interstate. I went where I was going and left. Then I passed a Lowe's just past where he almost hit me and there was the truck. I called the police and reported it knowing that there's really nothing they could do except talk to him, but that's not even what's bothering me. I can't get over the fact of how CLOSE I was to being killed. I mean if I'd been going just 1mph faster or didn't look to the left and stop, I would be dead right now. I'm not exaggerating; I believe this to be true. I feel like maybe there's a reason, or that I need to talk to somebody. Is this normal?

Thank you for all of the nice words and personal stories that you shared. Even with the few answers that were only meant to be hateful, it's good to know that MOST people are caring and good. I talked to a friend this morning that was in a bad accident several years ago. She was a great help! Whether it's a blessing or a second chance or whatever, I guess it's just what I make it to be. But one thing's for sure; I do feel lucky! It's going to be difficult to chose a best answer. Thanks to all.
Share and Enjoy!

It would be scary. It is good that you reported it. I would have even checked to see if there was a company name or something on the truck and called the business. But I think that you did a good job. I would breath and know that you probably survived for a reason.

Life is full of close calls...and you can't let them shake you up, or you will be too afraid to leave the house.

However, it is also wise to let these things remind us that we are mortal, and one of these days we will lose the option of "doing it tomorrow"...so, if I were you, I would be sure that people I cared about knew it, and leave nothing unsaid, that you will want known if your luck plays out on you next time.

This is good advice to take no matter what the circumstances. There are always things that could be said, and kindnesses that should be acknowledged...a few years ago, my son's wife was killed in a car accident going to work one day...an ordinary day...nothing special, except she didn't make it...I was really glad that I had taken the time to talk with her a few days before, and let her know that I was glad my son married her.

I missed that chance with my parents, many years ago, and I am careful to never leave things unsaid again. If I die, I don't suppose it would bother me...but if the other person dies, then not saying things can eat at you for a long time.

Something like this happening can be a real wake up call. You need to ask yourself, "if I had died today, where would I be right now?" If you are not positive beyond all doubt that you would be in heaven and not hell, then thank God for the second chance and get to know him. Jesus said that no man would enter the kingdom of heaven except through him. I am glad you are OK.

It's perfectly normal to be shaken up after such a close call. You never really worry about death when you're young. A very close call like that makes you realize how you could be at death's door any second. You will feel better. You're just shaken up right now. If you are religious, go talk to your pastor. That may help. My son had an accident one time. He is 6"6". He was not wearing his seat belt which in his case was a blessing. What made him not wear his seat belt that day? He was driving a small 1968 Chev Nova. It wrapped around a telephone pole. The engine was in the front seat of the car! As big as he is he was thrown out of that small drivers side window. With only a few scratches. And to top it off, the accident was in front of the Sheriffs Office. Now how lucky is that? I felt someone was with him that day. It took me a while to get over just how close to death he came. I pay a lot closer attention to my family ever since that dreadful day. Someone may be here one second and gone the next.

yes, it's normal. this will make you a safer driver. everything happens for a reason.... you looked because it wasn't your time, now you will look everytime. Your experience happens to thousands of people everyday. Be careful out there, go talk to a priest, preacher, nun, minister, deacon, teacher, parent, sibling, friend, or anyone who will listen. they can share a similar experience more than likely.

Glad to hear you're all right!

My impression is that you did the best you could in this situation.

Keep you're eyes open, there really are some crazy (sleepy, inattentive, sloppy) drivers out there.

Remember not to drive any faster than your guardian angel can fly! :)

It is normal. When we go through an event like that we need to let out our feelings. We need to talk, and especially be heard, and comforted. If you think this is more than you can handle seek therapy. People react to situations differently. I actually was in a bad accident, right when I got struck, I saw all my life flash before my mind. It was a weird feeling I have never experienced before. The feeling of beign near death. I got over it quickly though, and still use the same street. It passes my mind one time or another, about the accident, but I don't let it control me. I hope everything works out, and I want you be happy that you are here alive, actually beign able to talk about this.

that happenes to me once, I was waiting at a stoplight and the car next to me gunned it as soon as the light turned green and was side swiped instantly by some moron in a truck. If i had been the one we would have died, along with my friends daughter who was in the car with me. I felt the same way, but i just talked to my mom about it.

You may be shaken up, but learn from it.
It doesn't matter if the light is green, people run them all the time.
Pay attention when driving, the life you save may be your own.

Yeah, that's normal and it's ok to talk. A lot of people feel like holding it in feeling like they're just attention "whores"... but that's serious and get out your feelings, it'll help in the long run.

Crazy isn't it? I was hit by a 18 wheeler like a 8 months ago on the freeway going about 70mph from the back and I spun around in traffic and after the spinning was over I was facing on coming traffic. I walked away without a scratch. I definitely felt like God was looking after me that day. I'm sorry to hear about your accident, if you're like me, it will affect you for a while.

Well, bless your heart! Very scary indeed. I'm glad you took the time to report the vehicle & driver when you saw it parked. The driver was probably just not paying attention--not an excuse, i know. Hopefully, after the error of his ways has been brought to his attention, he will do better in the future. We all have our distracted moments.
As for, were you saved for some greater purpose in life--Maybe , especially I say this if you've recently been thinking of checking out of this life-time, be it by death, drugs, or reclusivness. Or you could just be lucky ;)

Yes, it is normal to talk it out and work out the mental stress and impact. You may want to lay down and take a small nap.
I am so very glad that you are well. That moron in the truck should be more careful. I thank God that he kept an eye on you today. It is in order to offer a prayer of thanksgiving. Have a great rest of the day and God bless you again and again.

People almost get killed all the time. But if it helps for you to think there's some meaning behind it, by all means use this as inspiration to do something more with your life. Look at it as a wake-up call that life is too short and can be taken away at any moment.

It must not have been your time. Maybe you calling the police will save someone else if he chooses to start thinking when he's driving. You did the right thing...I would have been tempted to let the air out of all of his tires and to leave a note that I flattened his tires so he didn't have a chance to almost kill someone else today. Thank goodness you're okay.

You might be in shock; that happens a lot. Let it go for, say, three days, and if you still feel like this then talk to someone. But don't just try to forget it. That's not good. Remember it, but remind yourself you WEREN'T killed, you're fine, and that now at least you know there are a lot of crazy people out there on the road and you've got to be careful (not that you weren't before). If you're a girl, get something really sweet and bad-for-you to eat, put a face mask on, and sit down and watch a film. If you're a guy, same, except skip the face mask. :-)

Today is a very important day - miraculous you might say. If you feel that you have been spared, I urge you to spend some time in meditation just being thankful for being alive and focus for the rest of the day on positive things (love, hope, peace, prosperity) for yourself and all of us on the planet. It's a very important day.

If you send me your email address I can send you more information.

Peace!
