Consciousness action saved her life in a major car accident

It is not always luck that saves us the trauma and accident. A little conscious mind and quick action is what saved the lives of two youngsters, whose car was rammed in the accident on Sunday.
Talking about the accident, 24-year-old interior designing student Vaishali Satrawal said, “My friend (Sambhav Jain, 24) and I were returning from super corridor and standing at red light on Lav Khush square.”
She was driving Volkswagon Polo and stood at a safe distance from the tanker ahead. “Later, we discovered that the tanker was carrying acid,” Vaishali said.
The duo was suppose to take a u-turn from the square and hence stood in the extreme right lane. “I am normally very conscious while driving, because I fear accidents a lot,” Vaishali said.
She avoided talking much and played soft music on the radio. “I heard a skidding noise and noticed a truck approaching us in the mirror,” Vaishali said.
To be on the safe side, she unlocked the doors and prepared herself for any mishap. “As the truck rammed into the car, we were out of control, but I tried to stay back,” Vaishali said.
The right air bag in the car on the driver’s seat opened and saved her from getting any face or head injuries. “The left air bag did not open so my friend had some head injuries and got some acid burns,” Vaishali said.
She felt grateful to have a conscious mind and lucky in some ways. “I am grateful and feel proud that I did not give in to peer pressure and become a careless driver,” Vaishali said.
