“I was out for an evening with friends and I was driving. There were four other passengers in my car.  The night was terrible, hard driving rain. The road I was traveling was very dark and there wasn’t even any light coming from the headlights of other cars. I had never been on this road before and was unfamiliar with it. I seemed to be traveling very fast down this road, faster than I had meant to be driving. I am known to be a ‘lead foot’ but it was dawning on me that I needed to slow down and despite easing up on the accelerator and applying the brake the car did not seem to slow at all.  It seemed to be going on it’s own.  The road was so dark; I really couldn’t see a thing.

“I felt like the car was accelerating all on it’s own and suddenly, the steering wheel turned completely to the left and the car came to a complete stop. In the headlights of my car, we could all see that I was only inches away from falling into a ditch. The road had seemed to come to an end of sorts, they were doing construction or something but there were no signs or roadblocks up. 

“We all sat there quite stunned for a few minutes. We all knew that we were just inches away from being killed or at least very seriously injured.

“I never talked about it for many, many years but I ALWAYS knew that my Guardian Angel had taken control of that car and turned the steering wheel and stopped the car. I always knew I had nothing to do with saving us from falling into that ditch.”
