Spared from Crushing Accident
by Hntr557

I was in the process of moving to California from Arizona. On my way to Sedona to get the rest of my things, I pulled over behind Lake Pleasant to shoot a few rounds. As I was alone, I felt as though there was someone else with me. I thought nothing of it and left when I was finished. When I got about 15 minutes down the highway, near Sunset Point, I started getting a weird feeling. I was driving in the fast lane and started shifting into the slow lane to let a truck pass. All of a sudden, my SUV started shaking like something was dragging, so I thought it was the motor. I steered the car straight and had it under control when all of a sudden, I veered off to the left. It turned so sharp that it became airborne and landed on the top corner of the passenger side. It crushed that side of the car in. This is when I closed my eyes. During this time, something happened. I could feel my body there and what was happening to me, but my mind left me. As my eyes were closed, I saw a vision of me sitting in a chair, and right across from me was my what I made out to be an old lady. She was sitting in a bench and was knitting while staring at me. Next to her was an open door with a white light coming out. My mother and grandmother think the old lady was my deceased great-grandmother, because the only thing that had color was what she was knitting, a pink blanket, and when I was about four, she was in the hospital for her leg. I went to the gift shop and bought her a pink rosary. They also said she had a habit of staring sometimes.

I am sure that it was a near-death experience and she was protecting me because when the car had stopped, I got out myself and had no problems walking, thinking, and had not a single scratch on me. I went and talked to the guy who stopped and called the paramedics (he was behind me and saw everything) he said that I had rolled five or six times. When we went to the tow yard, we saw the car upright, and there is no way to explain how I could have lived without any problems. The whole roof is caved in and the sides are crumbled. There was nothing left inside - even the radio flew out. Every day I thank God and my grandmother, and am still trying to figure out why I was spared like that.
