left lane so not the fast lane but the next one over and I'm going and weirdly even though it's probably a Tuesday or Wednesday night there's not really anybody else on the road which is great because I just want to get home. I'm going, and all of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I see a... It was either tan or silver, little four-door sedan going sideways across the freeway.

So from my right to the left, cutting across, and this all happens... Within a matter of seconds, but it feels like it's in slow motion, I...

turn the wheel super fast and swerve into the fast lane and luckily there was nobody there because otherwise i would have hit them i swerve this person cuts across the front of my car hits the center median and starts spinning and they start spinning clockwise towards my car and There's a brief moment where I see the person inside the car. Like, I see their eyes. In that moment...

My brain was just trying to process what is happening because, A, when is there ever somebody driving sideways on the freeway or any street, for that matter? And so there's the moment of kind of puzzling realization, like, wait, there's something traveling in front of my car going in a perpendicular direction to where they should be going. I'm going 70 miles an hour.

So regardless, if somebody had like swerved into my lane, I still have to slam on the brakes. And... They hit the wall and they start spinning towards me in this counterclockwise way. And again, I don't know how quickly or how slowly this was happening, but it definitely felt like it was happening really slowly. Like I can see the car rotating towards me and...

The way the light was, because it's, you know, 1230, one o'clock at night, there's a few overhead street lamps, but not super well lit. So I can only really see a silhouette of a person. I couldn't really see anything. their face.

I honestly don't even really know what they looked like, but I just saw a kind of like reflection of their eyes for a second as they were spinning towards me counterclockwise. And we kind of had this passing moment where I looked at them and I can see them looking back at me. And I can only imagine how terrifying that would be. I mean, it was terrifying for me being in that situation.

And it just felt like, a dream, but it was absolutely not a dream. You know, I had not been drinking. There is no way that this wasn't real, but it felt like this should not be happening. And then seeing them spin so close to my car and just be a couple inches away, like I should have hit them. And I didn't.
