Angel on the Scene
by Alisha
When I had just graduated high school, I would drive out to my grandmother's house every night and stay with her because she was ill. I lived in Kent, Washington and I would drive to Enumclaw after work. The road that I took has a 50 mile-an-hour speed limit and no street lights. Being as I drove this every night, I know my cell phone doesn't receive service though that stretch and I am a very cautious driver and ALWAYS locked my doors.
On this night in 2001, I was making the drive as normal when the car in front of me slammed on their brakes (I guess they missed their turn). When I slammed on my brakes, my wheel locked and I couldn't slow down... I rear-ended the car going 50 mph. The accident was really bad -- the whole front of my little Saturn was caved in up to the steering wheel and my air bag didn't deploy, so my head was slammed into the steering wheel. I was trapped in my car and my head was bleeding. Just then my car door opened (and like I said I ALWAYS lock my doors), and a black gentleman was there. He said, "Alisha, you're going to be ok. Please let me have your phone and I will call your mom." So I gave him my cell, thinking to myself that it's not going to work because of the area we're in... and how did he know my name? The gentleman called my mom and I heard him say, "Alisha was in a car accident. She will be fine. You need to come and be with her though." He told her the road I was on and hung up. Then he held my hand and told me, "You're going to be alright. It's not your time to go yet." I knew the moment he held my hand that I was ok and I felt a peace come over me. Then I heard the sirens from the fire trucks and the gentleman said, "It's my time to go. You'll be alright; just have faith." He left and the fireman came to check me out. They started asking me questions and asked me if they could call someone to meet me at the hospital. I told them that a black gentleman had already called and my mom was on her way. He told me that no one was around and checked my phone and said no call had been made. Just then my mom pulled up (in hysterics of course) and the fireman just looked at me.
I ended up ok. They transported me to the ER. I had cuts, black eyes and whip lash, and I couldn't walk for three days, but after some physical therapy I recovered like new. I later asked my mom about the gentleman that called. She told me that nothing registered on her caller ID when the call came through, and all she could tell me was the gentleman that called her sounded like a black man. So her phone never showed that a call came through, my phone never showed that a call went out, the doors of my car opened with out any prying, the gentleman knew my name and no one but me saw the man that sat with me. I know in my heart that I had my wonderful guardian angel with me that night. I also found out later that the car that I hit... no one was hurt in the vehicle and no one saw anyone at my car until the firemen came.
