My father and I were stopped at a traffic light.

The light changed and a small Triumph sports car was coming from the other side.

It veered towards us and got T-boned by a car traveling at very high speed.

The sports car was spun around like a top and almost destroyed. I remember seeing car parts flying around.

The driver of the car being chased died instantly. One guy in the Triumph was thrown out of the car and had severe head injuries.

The driver of the Triumph was wearing a seatbelt and wasn’t hurt that I noticed.

The police came flying up to the intersection just seconds after the accident.

It happened so fast I didn’t realize how close we we to the collision.

I’ve worn a seatbelt religiously ever since then.
