When God Intervenes by Mit The Destroyer
3 Years ago today, I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before due to my current job. That afternoon I had an interview in San Louis Obispo, as I was looking for a new job that wouldn’t take my entire life, as my current job was requiring me to work on average 7 days a week 12 hours a day (which didn’t mean I was working Saturday or Sunday). So I asked my mom if she would be willing to drive me up to the interview, as I felt I was in no condition to drive to San Louis Obispo and back, which was a 4 hour round trip from where I was living at the time. My mom obliged as she didn’t want any harm to come to me.
I arrived at the interview at about 2:30pm, with 30 minutes to spare, as my interview wasn’t until 3pm. The 45 minute interview went ok. I said my goodbyes to my interviewers, and promptly left, to merge with the rest of the Friday afternoon traffic, of the 101 freeway, to make our way home. Just as we left the city limits of San Louis Obispo I noticed that my mom began to veer off into the left soft shoulder of the 101 freeway. I softly spoke, “mom did you notice you just veered into the soft shoulder on your left.” Which startled her causing to over correct by yanking the steering wheel all the way to the right, causing her car to cross the entire 101 freeway and then to flip.
To do this day I still don’t know how many times the car flipped as we both blacked out for a minute, and when we awoke we where both upside down, faces smashed into the mud of the soft shoulder on the far right side of the 101 freeway. By The grace of God he directed our car so that no other car hit us as we traveled from one side of the freeway to the other side and then kept our car from flipping until we arrived on the soft shoulder that was muddy, due to the rain from the last week or so. Had we flipped while on the freeway or had it not been raining the week before so that the soft shoulder was hard ground we would have surely died or at the very least been paralyzed from the neck down. On top of that there was an EMT that had just gotten off duty that witnessed the accident and help me out of the car as we waited for the paramedics to arrive; to get my mom out of the car, who was still trapped under the car, and take us to the emergency room.
Here are some pictures of what my mom’s car looked like after the accident:
