Glad you survived! I had a similar experience of dozing at the wheel whole driving home from engineering school, but I did pull over for coffee and a rest after I was jolted awake to find myself driving half on the shoulder of the road.

Yeah, I wasn’t smart enough to do that. But some events are meant to occur and I’d like to believe that this one put me on my destined course in life.

I vividly recall that day like it was just yesterday. Hearing about that accident sent a shiver down our spine, and how we hostel guys rushed to the hospital with prayers swirling up our minds.

It's as if the universe conspired to steer you away from harm's way, weaving a tale of survival and resilience. I am sure the accident was a pivotal moment in your life, a crossroad where fate and God's will intertwined, guiding you through the chaos to a new chapter of life. Thee way the universe played a part in orchestrating events, nudging you onto a different path, is both mystifying and awe-inspiring ,however how the Corrs had to do something with all this is also a nice read da .

Miracles do happen, and your survival against such odds is a testament to strength and fate entwined. Ofcourse the divine intervention and fervent prayers of your parents and other family members and friends would have been an invisible shield, enveloping you with protection.

Indeed, it's a story that reiterates the profound influence of faith, prayer, and divine intervention in our lives.

And real gratitude to those strangers-turned-saviors on that ill-fated day and how the unseen forces guided you through that harrowing experience.

It's truly a story of survival against the odds, a tale that leaves us all in absolute wonders even now.

It's a read that speaks volumes about the unseen forces at play, orchestrating events in ways anyone could comprehend. Nicely worded and a great read. Thanks for sharing the story.
