There were a concrete slab infront of us and I had to swerve away... I lost control into the oncoming traffic where we had a head-on collision. This was approximately around 6:30-7:00 am...
I can't remember much of that day except that my daughter was screaming above my head she just wanted her mom and I couldn't get to her.
My daughter broke her jaw in 2 places and her upper right leg, she has also recovered really well but unfortunately needs to go for another operation on her leg and she was put in the care of her paternal grandmother so that she can attend school while I was still in the hospital ...
