road.

“Those were three frightful
moments for me but I thank God I made away alive. I was driving alone when the
third accident occurred but I had passengers on the first two. I am happy none
of my passengers were hurt but I myself woke up to some mild pain in my body
today though I had thought I was OK.

“To me, all the accidents are
inexplicable because I always try to maintain the car in the best possible condition
through regular servicing. I also try to practice due diligence when driving. I
am however not worried too much because I know these things happen in life,”
said Chivange.
