Hey! This is Petra.

A couple of nights ago, a friend of mine nearly died in a car accident. What happened was, he

lost control of his car, jumped the divider, hit another car and then crashed into a house. Now,

the speed he was going at, his car was crushed twenty percent of its normal size and he could

have really hurt someone. The only thing that saved him was his seatbelt. By the way, did I

mention? He was drunk.

How often has this happened to someone you know? Dont drink and drive and always

wear a seatbelt.
