"It all happened so fast. I tried to avoid the collision, but it was too late. I heard a deafening crash, and then everything went black."

Aftermath of the Accident

When the driver regained consciousness, he found himself trapped inside the wreckage of his car. Firefighters and paramedics rushed to the scene and extricated him, but not before he had endured excruciating pain and witnessed the aftermath of the violent impact.
