0715 hours, 29th November 2007, at kilometer 276.5 , Seremban-kl highway, a blue mercedes got hit by a bus moving at a speed of 110km per hour on the 2nd lane. (pls note the mercedes was stationary due to engine failure)
To top off this "spectacular" accident, me mom, me and my bro faiz were in the mercedes when the car got hit.. WE're lucky not to suffer any broken bones.. but we still escaped from this incident with a few bad bruises...
I can't type much abt this since i'm still abit traumatised by it (more like dazed). Thankfully, this has not made me scared of driving, since i'm still able to get into a car and drive. This did HOWEVER make me realise the importance to kip ur car in tip top shape..
-Believe me you wouldn't want ur car to stop dead on the 2nd lane and end up getting hit by a bus moving at 110kmph at the back left of ur car..
Mom got chest mucle strained, so she's not suppose to do anything strenous for awhile, faiz seems fine, strained hie neck and bruised his right knee area abit.. and me? abdominal muscle and neck muscle strained badly, thankfully it got better in the next 2 days.
What a thing to happen before we go on holiday.. luckily we're fine.
EVERYONE OUT THERE!! here's some tips on ur car..
-Make sure u check up ur car every time ur going on a long trip.. (60km +)
-Make sure you ALWAYS have ur seat belts on.. (i had mine on, it saved me)
-Make sure you have the number of the highway patrol incase u need to ask for help
-Once u stop ur car on the emergency lane, DON"T STAY IN IT!! run up the slope or sumthin FAR frm the car before u make any calls..
Don't feel like typing anymore abt this.. Will update when i get back from holiday.. For once, i'm glad i wore my seatbelt..
Piece for now~
