Breath of Life

Breath of Life

As they approached an intersection, another car T-boned them, sending their black sedan sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.

As smoke billowed from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door, jamming it shut. Shaken, but otherwise OK, she crawled out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
