Can you imagine how many vehicular accidents happen a day, especially here in the Philippines? I’ve been in a huge one about three years ago. I was on my way home and there were five of us in the car, all girls. we were about to take a u-turn when a fiera or mini truck bumped at the back of our car. It was really weird because we thought we saw a huge black shadow passed us by a few seconds before the accident happened. We were lucky no one was hurt but the damage on the car was huge and we bumped on the jeepney in front of us so there’s damage both in front and at the back of the car. I called emergency 117 and it took them about an hour to get to the place. I also called my mom and dad because we were just a few meters away from our village. It turned out that the driver was drunk and he lost control of the breaks that’s why he bumped into us. I really don’t know what happened to the case, I think the police just let the guy go after some time and we were really disappointed. And it’s not like there are truck accident lawyers here in the country that we could hire. And if there is, I’m pretty sure it would cost a fortune.

We all spent the night at my house and we were really glad that we were all fine except for some pain in our necks. The next day we all went to the doctor for a check-up. We all had our x-rays taken and they made us wear a soft neck brace and advised us to take a bed rest for 10 days just to make sure that we’re really okay.
