In my VW beetle I left my college campus to drive home one weekend even though my mother had a premonition I shouldn't do it. I told her not to worry and that everything would be fine. Little did I know! On I-75 below Macon, Georgia, I drove into a bad rainstorm which rapidly became a monster of a storm. I really couldn't even see enough to get off the interstate, and I kept driving and hoping the storm would blow over. It got worse and worse, and suddenly I saw a U-Haul trailor in the road ahead of me. It was either sitting still or barely moving, and I had no choice but to hit it head on or try to go around. I turned sharply to the left, and my VW turned over and skidded down the highway on the driver's side, with sparks shooting up through the water. When the car came to a halt lying on the driver's side, I decided to jump out of the car as I raised the passenger door straight up in the air. Before I could jump, my VW was struck by another car and I was ejected.............

Into the storm. However, I remember nothing of that. The last thing I remember before I briefly regained consciousness while lying on I-75 was standing at waist level in my VW while preparing to jump. Later on, they found me lying UNDER the car that struck my VW. I was taken in a hearse to a small medical clinic in a small town nearby where I encountered Dr. Christmas (that really was his name). When I came to on his examining table, he told me I had a slight concussion and a bruised left ankle. That was all! The weirdest part of the story, however, was this: My VW, after it was struck by the other car, righted itself on all 4 wheels and took off down I-75 driverless with the driver's seat sticking through its shattered windshield. With a bent axle, it turned around by itself and headed up I-75 the wrong way and had a head-on collision with the car that had struck it, but no one was hurt. It sounds like something out of a Stephen King novel, but it really happened.

My State Farm auto insurance agent in Albany, Georgia told me that a similar accident had happened to a woman on that same stretch of interstate a few months before my accident, but that she had not been so lucky. She had, he said, been spread like jelly all over the pavement.

ok..............so go on.....im guessin that you're still alive cuz you writing this story, but you didnt put a happy ending stamp on it.....like, i was ejected on to a nice patch of fluffy grass or, i was ejected but no harm came to me or the other driver......im glad your here to tell us the story, and about the premonition, if your mom didnt actually see or feel some weird kind of phenomena, then i think it was intuition, and she probably saw the bad weather heading your way on the news, not that its not possible, you know, cuz i think anything is possible, and since your ok, i would also call it a miracle..., now does everyone have a set time when they are goin to go, i think so, im not gonna get into the technicalities, but.....yup.....theres always a reason why a 42 yr old male passes away riding his motorcycle on the frwy, or a little girl dies of lukemia, or 121 yr old female passes away in her house of old age.....but i cant tell you the reasons cuz, i think only god knows....but i bet each one of those people touched other peoples souls, and somehow, because of them, we live on and follow our destinies.......here to help......
