I really have no clue why I am posting this. Maybe it's to see if anyone else has had this experience. I was home for a week recently. I left a few nights ago to return up to Orlando to get my trailer and head back on the road. It had been raining hard for a few days and it was raining when I left.
For those who don't know me or are new here, I drive a 2006 Volvo over the road truck. Anyway, I was running bobtail (no trailer) up I-75. I moved to the left lane or (hammer lane) as wel call it, to pass a car. As I turned the wheel, my rear axles hit a puddle of water and the rear of the truck slid out. I continued to correct as the rear of the rig slid from right to left. As it slid for the 2nd time to the right, the tires grabbed and shot me into the median. Managed to tear the truck up pretty good but I kept it upright and got it stopped in the median.
Florida highway patrol showed up and while the wrecker was pulling my truck out, I literally fell apart.
Anyway, my issue is my thoughts. During all of this, I had thoughts of my kids and family. Even of my ex to be. Anyone else had this before? I thought that was always a pre death thing. Guess I was wrong.
