THE MOST TERRIBLE ACCIDENT YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED
Superb greetings steemians it's a wonderful day, I am very happy to participate in this contest; the most terrible accident you have ever experienced by @lovveday.
Actually I was in the accident myself which I almost lost my life, before I move on I will like to tell you what an accident is:
An accident is a bothersome or tragic happening that happens inadvertently and for the most part brings about hurt, injury, harm and there are many types of accident but we will be taking about road accident.
All my life I never prayed to have and accident (road) until the day came which I will never forget. It was on the 29th of December 2018, five (5) days after Christmas.
I and my friends (Moses) decided to go to ikom town (Cross River) to get some clothes for the new year, we got the clothes on our way coming back, we took cyclist (okada) for a 26 kilometers ride to our destination and we moved.
There is a bridge called Afi, it was about 7km to our destination, it was said to be fearful because accident always happens there and people do lost their lives some vehicle falls into the river. As we approached the bridge, the cyclist was on high speed I was sitting behind and my friend in the middle. Suddenly a gold Toyota Camry overtake us and was also on speed, and he noticed that there was a pothole in front of him, he could not run into the pothole because it was too big and also could not go to the other lane because there was a big tank with petrol in it, so he matched brake at once in the middle of the bridge. When I saw this, I said too myself it is finished what was our faith? We could not doge the Camry to the right because we will just fall into the river over 200ft and we could doge to the left because the tank will crush us and we where close to the Camry, we just to smash the Camry behind and we fell and was rolling on the road. Very fast we all stood up and ran out, it was not about 5seconds as the tank crushed the motorcycle. People who notice it was shouting it has match him oh that was the cyclist because he stood up last, with all those noise the driver was frightened and drove of with speed, same for the tank but to God be the glory no one died, but what still baffles me is that the cyclist was shouting "my bike oh, my bike oh" was his life note important? That's bye the way, we all where injured but mine was more which lives mighty scars on me til date.
We where all taken to the hospital, it was a whole lot of experience, when the nurse apply a substance called iodine on all my injury, I felt like the whole world has come to and end, I didn't even know where to cry for.
At last I recover, which took about 3 month and I thank God for my life, the life of my friend and the cyclist. It was a bad experience and I never wish for it to happen again.
Below are pictures of the scars the accident gave me.

My Lap

In Conclusion
Well I will say we all where at fault, if the cyclist was not on speed or the driver was not on speed or did not overtake at the bridge, something like that could have not happen..
Please stop driving or riding with speed.
Speed kills
