Coming back from my sister's house I almost got involved in a tragedy today.
I was driving about 25-30 mph..when this kid about 11 years old didn't look both ways and decided to J-walk and starting running across the street. Good thing I saw him but had to hit the breaks, swerve away and blare the horn. He did finally see me and stopped and ran back to his mom. I missed him by about 10 feet or less.
Good thing I was focused on the road.
My subconscious must have took over as before realizing what happened I had already made the maneuvers. Luckily, my eyes were focused on the road.
To be honest...thinking of what could have been still has me a little shaken.
