I was driving home from work. Left the city and while merging southbound into interstate traffic (things were going well for a minute or two) I felt a light push on the back of my car. An 18-wheeler had clipped me. I suddenly felt like I was airborn, my car started spinning, and while spinning, with rear end now facing southbound, the truck hit me again head on on the driver side forcing me backward eventually into the median guardrail. I sat with my hands on the wheel and watched the truck's big-ass tires roll right past my head and face, white smoke everywhere (I assume from his brakes). He was so close that the outside shell of my driver side was damaged front to back. Like a shaving. While I sat there helpless, I fucking saw God. It felt calm and surreal and weightless. There was nothing I could do but give it all over. I was helped out of my car and a kind man stayed with me. All the traffic had stopped and there were a lot of shocked faces. When the State Trooper arrived at the scene, all I knew what to do was throw my arms up in the air and yell, "I have Angels!" The rest is minutiae.

Addendum: That's the spritual part. The luck part is the direction in which my wheel was turned when I got pushed head on by the truck. If it been turned the other way, I would likely have been crushed under the truck.
