I still feel shaken up *TW*
Last night, my partner, baby, and I were on our way home. We were driving on the highway and we saw a car parked on the right shoulder. I saw a man walk around the car and honestly thought nothing of it. Maybe he had a flat tire or his car died. But instead of walking to the other side of the car… he walked straight onto the highway. On this specific highway everyone is going around 80mph especially since it was late at night (10pm) and there’s was no traffic. My partner saw he was walking on to the highway and wasn’t stopping so he tried to speed up to pass him before he was able to get into our lane and as we passed him, I kid you not that man could reach his arm out and touch our car,, that’s how close he was to us. And I know you’re all thinking, why didn’t he slow down or stop the car? Everyone’s going super fast on that highway and stopping or even slowing down would’ve caused a major accident and at least we avoided hitting him. I looked back and just saw a bunch of cars swerving to one side. We don’t know what happened, if he was hit, or made it to the other side of the highway. I don’t know if he was okay or trying to kill himself. But I just keep seeing his shadow and how close he was to us. I can’t imagine the trauma for the people who possibly could have hit him. I couldn’t sleep, I kept trying to look up if he was on the news but nothing. My partner told me that he remembered he was walking backwards as if he was yelling out to someone in the car. I thought maybe he was on the phone with someone because I couldn’t imagine someone just sitting in the car and allowing him to do that. I hope he’s okay.
