I felt his presence as he communicated to me to look left. This was a feeling; I only heard the word "stop". There was a telephone repair van heading straight at me at full speed. I braced for impact when the van hit the front driver's side of my car. The impact was so strong, the front passenger tire was knocked completely off the rim and the entire front end of the car was shattered. I am sure if I had not stopped when I did I would be dead since the van would have hit at the driver's door rather than the front of the car. My brother saved my life. The really weird thing is I've always felt I'd die in a car accident.
