car accident survivors

Touch wood, not so far.Not in the future too.I am a very careful driver especially with my wife and princess.

When I was 15, my older sister just got her license (She was like 27, there was a brother in between us) and we decided to take a ride in a borrowed car about 70 miles away for fun. So her, I, and her two kids, ages about 2 and 5, headed off. My sister was very inexperienced as a driver but all was well until the sun started to go down. We were on a back street in a little town and my sister realized it was later than she realized and had to get back home. She was going at least 80 mph and, when I saw that, I said to slow down. She, being inexperienced, got nervous and slammed on what she thought was the brake but it was the gas. We ended up veering off the road and flipping over three times before landing on our wheels in a field. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was not seriously injured (although I don't know why since I didn't have a seatbelt on and the car flipped so many times) but I did break my nose and suffer bruises and bumps and scrapes. But it was the trauma that took years to get over. I was unable to ride in busses because, when they turned the corner, they seemed to be tipping over and I would freak out thinking we would flip over. I would only ride with people I trusted and made them drive very slow. Every time we went too fast for my liking, my nose would ache and throb as a reminder of the accident and I would make them slow down. I had nightmares of the accident. My niece had landed in the back of the hatch with a TV on top of her (No idea why there was a TV in the car) and was hospitalized and my nephew was all cut up. My sister had a concussion and a very bad leg injury among other things. I somehow walked away but the trauma stayed for years and years. I still don't like to go in a vehicle and make sharp turns or go on winding roads that curve. All I could do to get over it was to deal with it as best I could and to give it time. My sister and her kids were fine and they had no lasting effects. I was the only one who did. Weird...
