I almost died in a car accident this morning
How did the accident happen?
It was life-threateningly close to being hit by a car. My friend's car was bumped into by another car.
I am glad that you are okay.  It is good to be grateful for being unharmed during an accident.
I would rather do that than think about how close I came to dying. It was just too close for comfort.
That is a good attitude to have and a reminder to never take life for granted.
