I've been in a few car accidents. One of my sisters was killed in a car accident. Some of my near misses would have killed me. Seconds can mean the difference between life and death.
My worse car related accident is being hit by a car at the age of ten. Luckily the car wasn't traveling too fast or it would have killed me. I went flying through the air, and by chance or otherwise, my dad passed me driving in the opposite direction as I was flying through the air. He stop, picked me up, then brought me to the hospital.
