I really can't forget this Heart Pumping and Life Threatening scenario I have been through. I was crossing the street in the highway and as a good pedestrian I crossed in a crossing zone. While crossing I saw at a far a huge Truck Coming at me very fast at the other side of the road so I quickly got to the middle of the Highway and as I didn't know there was another Huge Truck coming from the other side of the highway towards me. So If I can picture you out this scenario.. I was in the middle of the Highway between 2 trucks that runs like 70-100 km. I Froze their and got me standing for about 3 min sweating and thinking.. was it my time.. did God save me? In the end I did got to the other side safe. I'm Glad I'm Alive! This happened in November.

That was terrible. The driver must be drunk in hitting you. Although you suffered in a injury its good your still in one piece just like me. ^^

I say you are lucky! I can't even imagine. There are times where people get swooped underneath trucks! I remember when I was 19, a couple of years ago, my lil sis and I went on a road trip to a fam members house. We got stuck in traffic then we made a stoo on the way to get snacks. By that time we were barely half way there actually not even half yet. It was only 3 hours but for me being the adult and her 16 it was scary but my oil light came on and so I stopped at the gas station and put some oil in. I got back on the road and it was pitch black out there no highway lights or anything and I smelled oil burning from my hood. The hood started to smoke up. I didn't know what to do and the next exit wasn't for a couple of more miles like 20-30! So I pulled over but made sure I was WAY over b/c pulling on the side of the freeway is dangerous plus at night! I checked the oil and realized I forgot to put the cap back on! I had no idea what to do! I was so scared and all the trucks were flying by me, I felt like I was going to get swooped under and my lil sis would be all alone! I tried not to show I was freaked out. I told her what happened though and told her we would be fine and we just need to look for the next exit. It was so hard getting back on the freeway from the side of the road esp since I didn't want to drive too fast and have more oil spill out! I got to a gas station and they didn't have a cap I could put on but told me 15min down the road I could find a shop that would sell me one. I went there and they saved us! I got the cap and was on our way! I was so scared and lucky b/c I could've easily gotten hit ot swept under my any of the cars or trucks. I thank God nothing happened to us!

I have been there. I was in an accident where a truck spilled oil all over my car, and somehow, my car and I survived.

That was truly a hair raising experience, Pal. It happened to me once when I was also crossing the street, there was a motorcycle that suddenly breezed through about an inch away from my face. But since it was not my appointed time to die yet, I still can type this very post. It's only our Creator can really tell when. Proof: Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: But unless the Father in heaven permits it, a person does not die even just a creature much lower in rank than a man. Proof: Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. It's important to use our remaining days of our lives in doing good things. Proof: Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. But we have to make sure the righteous things we do are approved by God (as not all seemingly good things are good in the eyes of God). Good thing, we are all still alive because God wills it.

Never in a scenario quite like what you've described. However, I have been in situations that will cause my adrenaline to pump to high levels. The best example of this was when I saw a terrible motorcycle accident occur while my mother and I were on the way to a concert about a year and a half ago. I slammed the breaks of the car and jumped out of the car to check on the driver of the motorcycle to make sure he was alive. I didn't even think about the fact that we were on the interstate and I could have also been hit by a car that was moving 70 mph or greater speed.

thats crazy that that happened coming at both directions of the street.. i guess life has its courses. its a good thing that u made it across safely. the same thing has happened to me before.. there have also been times when some people have puposfully tried to run me over in there cars and i wasnt even in the middle of the street. i was in a fred meyers parking lot and someone in a truck tried running me over for no reason at all.

Hi Nykel, I've been on the driver's side of such a situation all too often. I live in a college town and I live right by the college. I swear to God that those kids never learned the rule that most of us learn in kindergarten of "Stop, look both ways before crossing." So often I've had them just dart out in front of me without warning and had to slam on my brakes. I would never forgive myself if I hurt one of them. Yes, they may be on the cross walk but they still need to stop and look. I've seen them walking and talking with their friends and they hit the cross walk and just step out. I drive 10mph down thru there and I had one kid all dressed in black punch the top of my car and tell me to Fing stop! He startled me because I seriously was watching the road and both sides of it for people looking to cross. I'm glad you are safe and sound. Pedestrians need to be aware that the driver has to watch the road as well as both sides of it. They just have to make sure it is safe to cross. Also, if you are wearing dark clothes at night, it is really hard to see you from inside a car.

Oh I am sure that was a very extremely scary situation for you to be in and you must have been thinking "Oh no what's going to happen?" but I am very glad you made it out safe.

Hi, nykel88. I have been around many drivers that acted like they did not want to stop. But, with this here, they should have stopped if they saw you in the median. Was this where you were?? If so, they should have slowed down. They were driving too fast. I am glad that you are alive and not hurt at all. I don't like to be anywhere near a big truck. I do panic because these trucks are very large and they move very fast.

Oh! that was scary and very close!!! I dont have any experience like that, but I believe it is God who saved your from that possible trumatic- tragic accident. God never sleeps, and truly He is ready to protect us always. If we will look at it, who would think that you could escaped from that? it is like there is no way for you to run... two bog trucks on both sides, yet you are alive and safe... It is God and let us thanks God! Have a nice life!

Wow! That was really a hair-raising experience! I think you're right, God saved you. God desires good things to happen while the Devil desires the opposite. Maybe God still has some plans for you. Inquire to Him by prayer and thank Him for your second life.

Do you remember any dreams that you had prior to your adventure? Think deep. you might not remember right away but something will come to you. Write your dream down. Raising any eyebrows yet?
