Near Death Experience.....

not quite, but pretty frickin scary. Last night, I was driving northbound on the I-15 at about 65 miles an hour, OK maybe 80. I was driving on the far lane about to exit the freeway in a couple of miles. The traffic was mild and it was pretty windy and cold. As I proceeded to drive, I suddenly noticed that there was a full size bath tub in the middle of my lane. The bathtub seemed to have fallen off a truck and was cracked in multiple pieces but the majority of the tub was still in tact. I swerved to the left trying my best to avoid running into it(2-wheeling it) but the front right tire ran over parts of the tub. I then tried to correct the sharp turn by turning sharp to the right. I tried not to over correct the swerve and tried my best to balance the car. The car fishtailed and went out of control spinning twice and sliding sideways nearly hitting the middle divider. I went across four traffic lanes and finally stopped about 4 ft from the middle divider. When the car stopped sliding and spinning, my car was turned facing oncoming traffic. There were at least 3 cars that got into an accident because of this. I started the car and did a U-turn so that I can go the correct direction.

After all of this, I went to the nearest gas station to inspect my car. My car got away from all the spinning and sliding accident free. My tires were all good and there were no leaks or damage to the engine. I couldn't believe it. I feel that I was definitely watched over last night.

WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED:

• I could have DIED...or seriously been hurt/injured. Dying would have resulted in Estela having no father, Rosemarie having no husband, my Mom and Dad having lost a son, and my brothers and sister having lost a brother.....crazy to think about it like that.
• My car could have flipped over and ultimately been a total lost (I'm glad I got full coverage and GAP insurance).
• My wife and baby could have been in the car and all of the scenarios above could have happened. This would have been absolutely devastating.
