On the way to the beach in South Carolina last week, something happened that still flashes in front of my mind.
One minute, I am sitting in the car with my family, in the next minute... things happen in front of me in slow motion. Noise, debris flying across two lanes, screams. A split second decision and a quick evasive manoeuvre was all that saved us from being hit.
The old man in the car below was not so lucky. He had come straight into our lane from the opposite direction. Maybe he fell asleep, maybe he lost control of his car, but he kept going until he collided with a red pick-up. Then a third car slammed into his car as well. We could have been the fourth. The old man was hurt quite badly.
Luck? Yes, luck was involved and my husband's quick reaction.
When it happened, we were about twenty miles from the beach.
Life can change in an instant, we are always told. It can indeed. Just like that...
