The road was wet and slippery due to rain and when we reached Maya theirs was a bump in the road next to Stabex Petro station that caused my car to skid in a remarkable fashion. It did a 180-degree spin in the middle of the road, facing the wrong way! We then landed into a trench next to the Petro station.
This happened today morning and all the three people in the car survived.
We thank the good Lord for his protection,” the post reads.
