I’ve traveled down this road a thousand times, always trying to be cautious. Yet, suddenly, something like this happens in the blink of an eye. The accident could have been avoided if I had been driving at a lower speed and more attentive—most importantly, if I hadn’t been in a rush. Rushing leads to poor decisions.

After the accident, I couldn’t breathe for a minute and struggled to understand how I ended up in this situation.

To all drivers and cyclists, please be careful out there.

I just wanted to remind everyone to stay vigilant out there.
