I was driving on Sunrise Highway when a reckless SUV sped past, clipped my front fender, and sent my car careening into the median. The impact felt like a thunderclap—my head snapped forward, and pain shot through my shoulder and ribs. Smoke billowed from the engine as drivers swerved to avoid the wreck. Within minutes, paramedics arrived, lifting me onto a stretcher while sirens wailed in the thick evening air. I remember rain starting to fall, mixing with the shards of glass around me. That day on Long Island, in a single screech of tires, everything changed.
