LZ and myself were going to eat dinner. On the way, we stopped for a signal line. There were many cars in front of us waiting for the signal light as well, I was the last one in the line. All of the sudden, I heard a huge sound of tire scratching the ground. I thought "Where?" And then I saw a car approaching me in a very high speed from my rear mirror. I had a thought of moving my car to somewhere else. Maybe just a little bit to the right. Before my brain could give my arms the command, I yelled "Shit." And then my world became black for a second. I opened my eyes slowly, and asked LZ to see if she's okay. She shaked her head. I parked my car on the side of the street. I smelled the smoke. I tried to unbuckle my seatbelt and realized it was broken. My electronic systems were broken too. I called the police. And then I walked out and checked out the cars. My rear bumper was damaged really badly. The airbags of the other driver's car are already hanging there. Holy crap, my poor car. What was the driver doing? How could he hit a stopped car. I guess he wasn't paying attention while driving, perhaps he was making phone calls, texting, or something.
After doing the police report and exchanging the information with the other driver, we went to change a car at home, heading to lawyer's office. I acted really calm like nothing happened for the whole time. To be honest, half of my mind was gone already because I was traumatized. It took a few hours to recover. That was scary and very bad luck. I couldn't find of any ways to avoid the accident. So people, please always pay attention while driving. Always always.
