What happened? I was driving from my house in Pocono Lake, PA to go meet my friend for a 10-mile run through the trails in Tobyhanna State Park when my car slid into the shoulder, caught some loose gravel under the right tires, and left my control. It happened in an instant, like these things tend to do. The car actually picked up speed as I lost control. It was such a sunny day. That's one of the main things I remember, how bright the sky was through my windshield as my car cut across the road and took flight. My thoughts, in quick succession: Oh shit. I can't stop this. This is gonna happen. It's gonna be bad. Oh god please keep me safe. A huge SMASHBAM as my front tire hit a boulder and the car winged up with a frightening whir of the engine. Help. And my car was spinning, flipping through the air and I was sure I was going to die, my body crushed within my crappy Toyota Corolla. Ohgodno.
