I don't want to talk about this shit too much so I might as well write it down here for conjuration purpose.
A couple French mates and I were driving back from the Blodsrit/Elite gig in Witten (150 km north from Cologne). It was the girl's car so she was driving and I was in the back seat. We were on the motorway when, at about 1.30 am, some white weasel crossed the road just in front of us. I wanted to tell the girl not to brake, but before I could speak she didn't only hit the pedal hard but also turned the wheel left frantically, sending the car spinning at 75 mph... I remember I only thought "ok that was it then..." in an adrenaline rush before it all went slow motion. As I sort of "woke up" a few seconds later, the car was stabilized in the middle lane and my first reflex was to look anxiously sideways to see if we were in peril of being ran into by other cars, which luckily wasn't the case, then I just thought "holy shit, it's over and you have nothing, how can that be?" and let out the biggest sigh of relief ever.
Both rear and front end had hit the rail and the car is utterly wasted. Both my mates are safe even if the girl suffered a leg injury, apparently nothing broken though. I myself have only a precious few hurting ribs and muscles, which I guess is the luckiest possible outcome given the violence of the crash. Safety belts rule, just sayin'...
Also kudos to the police. I was the only one who spoke German in the car and my two mates were basically just gaping and under shock so I had to get the paperwork and stuff settled and the guys proved very comprehensive and helpful.
Good to be on RC today. Shit I could hug Birkenau or even lick his ass for nothing!
No clue what happened to the weasel...
