I have a double luck story.
A near fatal car accident just a few months ago. Guy ran a red light at close to 100mph. They were racing someone. I was turning onto the highway and they came within a literal inch of slamming into me. While swerving out of the way, they proceeded to fishtail across several lanes, cross back in front of me, head off the highway down into a ditch, graze a tree, get catapulted about 20 feet in the air coming out of the ditch and then miss about 8 trees while sliding across 50 yards of field stopping within a foot of slamming front first into another tree. Dude walked out of the car like nothing happened, not a scratch.
If I had been just 1 second earlier to the intersection, he would have slammed into me with almost a 100% likelihood of them dying and myself close to it.
