I neared my home and decided to stop by the gas station to pick up some drinks and some gum. I made a right turn onto the street, and since it was a corner, I had to drive onto the merging lane on the other side of the street once the traffic light had turned green. I was never sure how it had happened, whether it was my fault or the other driver’s fault, but I blacked out for a few seconds and I reacted too slowly. What was worse, I accelerated instead of braking. I had just made it across the intersection and was in the merging lane when a silver car, larger than mine, had attempted to cross the merging lane into a parking lot. I was traveling too fast and I crashed, causing the front of my car to become more like an accordion.
