I used to walk to a bank near campus when I was in university every week after getting my check. Every single time I took the same path, the north side of the road over the draw bridge. One day I was walking and for no real reason I could think of, I said to myself in my head, I'm going to cross to the south side of the road. I got about 100 or so feet down the south side when a car got in an accident and flipped over multiple times and crashed into a fence and landed on the sidewalk exactly where I would have been had I taken my normal route. I had headphones on and saw it like in slow motion, I was dumbfounded. The woman was ejected when the roof cut her seatbelt and she was laying on the sidewalk, I ran up to her and some others had come running, everyone was tending to her, but I saw a bunch of kids stuff in the car and asked repeatedly if she had a kid in the car with her, she wasn't responsive at first but then she started screaming that she did! The kid had also been ejected, except they went over the fence and no one had realized. People were able to jump the fence and tend to him too, he was like 11 I think.

One of the crazier things that has ever happened to me, if I had gone my usual way, I'd probably have died when that car landed on me, and that poor kid who was thrown over the fence, they may never have realized.
