Michael’s Terrifying Car Crash: Arm CRUSHED and Now in Critical Condition!
Michael Ilesanmi’s new house was bright in the late afternoon sun. He stood in the large living room, inhaling deeply and letting the reality sink in—this was his place of residence, his space, a representation of all he had labored for. Years of strife, uncertainty, and hardships had finally brought him to a place where he could breathe easily.
The flooring shone beneath the light, the walls were a soothing hue of cream, and the modern, elegant white furniture made the space seem cozy yet opulent. Michael felt the chill under his fingers ground him in the moment as he ran his palm over the smooth marble kitchen countertop.
The kitchen by itself was a dream—stainless steel appliances, a gas burner, and a large refrigerator loaded with his preferred delicacies. A gentle smile spread over his face. “I did it,” he whispered.
He reached for his keys from the counter and headed for the door. Today was remarkable for another reason. Parked outside waiting for him was his brand-new sports car—a gorgeous deep crimson.
Michael felt the cool evening air stroke his skin as the last rays of sunlight reflected off the car. It gleamed in the driveway—a sleek, stylish vehicle that was more than just a mode of mobility. It was a statement. Running his fingertips along the hood, he felt its silky surface. This wasn’t just a car; it was evidence of his perseverance.
Breathing deeply, he slid into the soft leather seats. The fresh scent of new car leather filled the space, and for a moment, he just sat there, absorbing it all. The engine roared to life at the push of a button, sending a thrill through his body.
Turning up the music, the deep afrobeat pulse matched the excitement coursing through him. The car handled smoothly as he navigated the city streets. Inside the vehicle, he felt completely in control. The world outside—a blur of city lights and activity—felt far away.
Then, his phone chimed. Michael glanced at the dashboard-mounted screen. Angela had sent a fresh message. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. He hadn’t expected her to contact him—not today, not now.
He ignored it. This drive was about celebrating himself. Nothing could spoil it—at least, that’s what he told himself. But then, another buzz, and yet another. His pulse quickened. Exhaling sharply, he took a fleeting glance at his phone.
An abrupt movement ahead caught his eye. He turned back to the road too late. Taillights flared red as the car in front of him stopped suddenly. Michael wrenched the wheel and slammed on the brakes.
A heart-stopping crash followed. Metal twisted, glass shattered, and tires screamed. His car slammed into the rear of the vehicle ahead, jolting him violently. The seatbelt locked firmly against his chest as his head snapped forward.
Smoke twisted from the crumpled hood of his once-perfect car. The windshield was fractured, spiderweb cracks spreading rapidly. Michael tried to make sense of what had happened. His chest heaved as pain shot through his left arm.
A middle-aged woman, the driver of the other car, staggered out. Her face was pale, but she appeared uninjured. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry.
Michael groaned, clutching his arm. “I think it’s broken,” he replied through gritted teeth.
The woman reached for her phone. “Stay put. I’m calling an ambulance.”
Michael leaned back against the seat, closing his eyes. “Today wasn’t supposed to go like this,” he thought bitterly.
Minutes later, sirens filled the air. Paramedics arrived, their flashing red and blue lights casting eerie patterns over the scene. Michael winced as two EMTs gently pulled him from the wreckage. His left arm hung at an uncomfortable angle, and the smallest movement sent fresh waves of pain through him.
One paramedic remarked, “You’re lucky—it could have been much worse.”
After bandaging his arm temporarily in a sling, they loaded him onto a stretcher and into the ambulance. Michael caught one last glimpse of his wrecked car as the doors closed. The hood was crumpled like paper, and the once-pristine vehicle was now a mangled mess.
The hospital room was quiet, save for the constant beeping of the heart monitor and the occasional murmur of nurses outside the door. Michael lay in bed, his arm now in a cast. While the medications dulled the worst of the pain, his body still ached from the collision.
His phone sat on the bedside table, lighting up with notifications every few minutes. Messages, inquiries, and updates poured in. One name kept appearing—Angela. Michael looked away from the screen, then back at it. He wasn’t ready to deal with her, not now.
Instead, he turned his gaze to the window. Outside, the city continued on, oblivious to his suffering. His accident had turned his life in yet another unexpected direction.
Michael closed his eyes and took a slow, deep breath. “I’ll face whatever tomorrow brings,” he thought. “But for now, I just need to rest.”
