People Share Near-Death Experiences That Are Terrifying

“I was on my way home to my mom’s house with my sister on a Thanksgiving morning when it started to rain… I can’t see anything in front of me… I was going about 40-45mph and hydroplaned from the right lane to the furthest left lane with the concrete wall. I managed to turn my car just enough not to hit the wall but drifted straight into the dirt shoulder, where I felt like everything slowed to almost a halt. Everything went upside down, and I saw the traffic coming toward us, and my only thoughts at the time were to cover my sister’s head from the impact. When I blinked, everything started up, and the initial bang landed on my side of the car. Not once had I left my hand even to protect me. … We rolled about eight or nine times until we halted on my window, and I immediately told her if she could move to a clearing away from the car and climbed out while I felt the rain hit my face where the glass had just kissed me.”

“…The adrenaline kept me up and running to escape what I thought would be my tomb. When I climbed out of the car, about six people rushed to my help, but I kept telling them to go help my sister because I knew she had a panic attack. EMS arrived shortly after, and I didn’t realize I was covered in blood because the rain kept washing it down. My car was banged up, the food I cooked was flipped, and my sister was safe. I was thankful for her being alive.”
