You know how they say that 2011 is the year of revolutions. We experienced a more physical revolution – or ingilaab- on Saturaday the 17th of September. My older brother was driving and I was in the passenger seat. At around 2 pm we were on the AD-Dubai road going to AlRahba to pick up something from family friends when suddenly we heard a strange noise coming from the right side of the car (I’m assuming that was the point when the tire burst). The car suddenly began shaking violently as it looked like it lost balance, and my brother tried to send the car to the furthermost right lane. By then he lost complete control of the car, and before we knew it, the car had flipped over. The window on my side had already broken, so I slipped outside, and my brother was helped out through the window by some people who had stopped to help.
It must have taken less than a couple of minutes before everything was over, and I’m grateful to Allah (SWT) we came out of the car with minimal injuries. So many people stopped by to help. The first questions asked was that if there was anybody else in the car, and there wasn’t. These strangers gave us water, called the police. They helped guide traffic, gave us blankets to lie on until the ambulance came. One of them even gave us a phone to call our parents, since our phones were still inside the overturned car (explains why we don’t have a picture, not that I would like to look at it anyway). After that, the ambulance came to take us to Rahba hospital where they performed normal check-ups and cleared us by 7 pm (So we did end up in Rahba after all, just for a totally different reason).
So for those who’ve been asking, both my brother and I are totally fine alhamdullilah. We were just in shock initially, but we’re totally fine now. We turned my dad’s 4 by 4 into a sports car, because that’s how its shape has been modified after turning over.
That’s it for now.
