I was (just now) on my way to an appointment; I had just gotten on the bus. After confirming with the bus driver that I was on the right bus, he pulled out. I was not yet sitting and all of a sudden there was a huge BANG. The bus had hit the side of a van, the driver's side window cracked, the bus' side mirrors torn off. I was almost thrown to the ground on impact, but caught a bus rail. The bus driver called his people immediately and had to be told by the police that he need to re-park to not block the road. Police were already there for another incident.
I could tell that the driver was in shock; I am in shock. Hearing the police man tell the driver to stop talking to his person, reminded me of when I got hit by a car all most a year ago. "Madame, get off your cell phone, Madame, we need to talk to you now, Madame."
I got off the bus as soon as I could; went home and called to reschedule my appointment.
My body got wrenched when I was thrown (but caught myself). Good thing I have bath salts.
WOW. Scary. No one was hurt.
We need Jesus and the Holy Angels every moment of our days.
Very scary! Thanks be to God for all His protection! Hope you suffer no after effects of this.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angels! Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteAy yi yi! prayers.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Nothing a good soak won't cure, I'm sure! It was scary, but you know the great thing about it is that I know how to articulate that it was scary and that by God's grace we are all okay. The poor bus driver. It happened so fast and I do not think it was his fault or least not fully. That would be a fairly bad day for him I think!
ReplyDeleteGoodness gracious! Do take care and rest well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Macrina - I will do so!
