Radiation Accident

It was a radiation accident.


  • Most fatal accidents occur at night due to poor visibility. - 6
  • My car blew a tire and decided to flip itself while I was inside. I braced my neck with my forearms as it flipped a few times, which also blocked glass from my face. so luckily my only injury was a torn up left arm from shrapnel. I never speed so damage was less than it could have been. I pulled myself from the car and applied pressure to the profuse bleeding until the paramedics arrived. Got stapled up and an IV.
