taxi of death
Apologies for length but needs to be told!

Myself and my mate Liz had decided to go out to a 'school disco' night in Leicester town, both dressed in shirts, short skirts and long socks (to my shame, i used to think this was a good night out!).

But i digress. Good night had all round and at about 2am, decided to get a taxi home. Got our school girlselves outside, hailed a black cab and off we went. All fine until we got the bridge over the train tracks.

A white car was driving on the wrong side of the road, straight for us. If we hit it, its 60mph head on crash. Turn to the right, over the bridge onto the tracks, turn left, through railings down a 20 foot drop. Only me wearing a seat belt.

We went left. Smashed through iron railings, screech through the undergrowth of a 20 foot drop and smash into another lot of railings, through out this, i had grabbed my friend, and shouted like anaction hero 'Hold on to me!'

She grabs me while falling to the floor, the taxi driver is desperatly trying to keep the car in control and not flip us over. We finally stop after what seems to be an hour of falling.

I look around, we're all alive, although the taxi man is stuck to the window, my mate is on the floor, smashed knees and i feel like my neck is broken, smashed head and cut hands. Someone sees the car n the bushes and calls the police. They manage to cut us out and smash the windows to pull me out (was too fat to fit through an open window!)

This is when the near death experience really hit home. The policewomen took me to one side and said:

" We expected to find 3 dead bodies and a totalled car. I've seen car crashes not as bad as this and no one has survived. You're lucky it was a black cab,as a normal car would have flipped 4 times. You should think yourself lucky.'

I then proceeded to empty the contents of my stomach on the floor and had to have a cup ofsweet tea and made to wear a fireman's jacket. I still to this day, don't know how the hell we got out of that alive.
