me and the accident in Coastal Road today

it happened at 6am this morning, me and Lace were aboard this public FX van going to Manila and it was still dark. We were riding inside and then we heard a large "bog!!!" sound and still figuring out what was it, and then I just didn't mind it, maybe an item fell from a vehicle in front of us.

but then after 5-6 seconds, we heard the driver said " What's that?!!" then suddenly his female companion seated in the front screamed!

then "Bang!!!!!" 1 second after that I can see the windshield infront of my face. and then I didn't panic, and observed what happened and I look to Lace, touch her head to see if she is hurt, then I rub my head to see any bleeding, and notice what hit us.

we went out of the van and everyone is in shock, all the passengers went out of van and the driver didn't know what to do. I take a peek on the front to see the female passenger if she is okay, but saw her badly hurt and was lying down up to the driver seat. I helped the driver to open the door of the van to get the lady out, and i dont know if she's dead or not, but I saw her down on the ground and covering her face.

Lace told me to get out of the scene immediately and a rode a jeepney going to MIA road.
then we saw this kid lying on the road lifeless and body and limbs in a not good position and then after we passed by saw this big truck tire.

the accident took place near the bridge, there are two bridge in the coastal road before the toll gate. our accident took place on the 1st bridge. then we saw a same accident happened on the 2nd bridge. a woman was killed too by a van, same incident and same damage to the van - windshield.

then we started to suspect what hit us - the kid who crosses the street ? or that truck tire.

then after going home, i just saw this news in the internet.
Thanks to God that we are okay and safe. now time to be aware and alert anytime, because accidents can happen.
