The other day I was driving down the highway - going about 65, and traffic was kind of bad. I was just driving along in the middle lane, completely multitasking like usual - chatting on the phone, smoking a cig, jamming out, etc....when all of the sudden I got this horrible gut wrenching feeling in my stomach that I had to get out of the road at THAT very second. Like right then. I threw my cig in the cup in my cup holder and threw my phone in the floorboard without even saying anything to my poor friend and pulled into the shoulder and stopped with my hazard lights on, feeling terrified.
Literally five seconds later the car that was right in front of me cut off another car and it tried to swerve out of the way and hit another car and that car hit the barrier and flipped, landing on another car....I didn't see what else happened because I was too scared but it ended up being a 7 car pile-up. There were 17 people total involved in the wreck and 6 fatalities - 3 of which were from one car.![]()
My car was just sitting in the shoulder, there was glass all over it from being so close to it.
It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen and I just couldn't fathom the fact that I was right in the middle of the seven cars that were involved. And I had my kitty cat in the car.
So....why did I get out of the road? Can intuition be that powerful?
Maybe my kitty cat is my guardian angel.
Either way - I'm grateful for whatever force made me get out of the road, but I also felt really terrible. Like...why didn't whatever made me get out of the road save those 6 people?
Life's weird.
