Hi Dear friends
Hope you must be doing well, i want to share incident i just face 3 hours ago
i was on my way to office and my younger brother was with me too, we were driving very carefully and slowly as it was Foggy and vision was not clear. A truck was going in front of us, he applied brakes and so do we, a car was at back and that car apply brakes too. We were waiting for truck to move, suddenly heard a smash and third car hits the car at our back, it skid fast and hit our car from back with quite a power and we were lucky to apply brakes and hand brakes and avoid collision with Truck in front of us.we were OK, just strong Jerk
We went out and saw our back bumper and trunk was badly damaged, The car at back was damaged at front and back too. but 2 guys care were OK, The third car which actually hit both of cars was in bad shape at front and three guys were there, 2 at front was having some bruises and pain as they hit dash board. , but guy at back seat was OK, i called 1122, rescue team, and ask them to come out of car and walk so they can feel fresh air. i just turn back and come to my car and move it a head. suddenly i heard a BIG SMASH and cries. Worse happen, a 10 wheeler truck hit the third car from Back and same effect come forward. My breath stop as my brother was helping the guy out from that car, but when i saw he was OK but 2 other men were still in car and one had injuries though no bleeding. but if that man who was back were in Car then he might be dead or seriously injured, he was just taken out 1 min ago, though this 2nd collision result him a small injury on his nose as parts of car flew and hit him
however police and rescue teams arrive and i left the place as damages was done and nothing can be done, i was happy that we were safe
but what u guys tell about third person who was just taken out of car one minute ago of truck hitting
LUCK or Narrow escape
Take care

Wahhh....Thankgoodness your safe!!
This ususally in highways..!!
I can't tell whether it is luck or narrow escape....!!
Becasue..
If you remain in car after that jerk then that will be your laziness and carelessness..!!
So you got off the car. SO I'll not call it your luck because a normal person will always get out of the car at this situation. YOur thinking of helping the other perosn out is good and your free will not luck. Yes but it was the luck of that other person who had you two helpful guys around.
And yes getting out of that car at that time was luck...!!

I hate the word LUCK. So I will call it a narrow escape by the Grace of God.
