Recently, Zainab Raza has posted a horrific experience of her shared ride with drunk strangers which were her friends’ acquaintances. She shared a long Instagram post revealing the whole story of her escape from a traumatizing situation.
Zainab Raza, “We were short on cars, so my friend and I ended up sharing a ride with three people we had never met before. Everyone seemed chill, so we trusted them with our lives. On the way back, however, the girl driving was intoxicated. She swerved out of the parking lot rashly and drove faster every time I asked her to slow down. She did not know the way, and she was managing a Spotify playlist with one hand while holding a cigarette in the other. My friend beside me was panicking. I messaged our friends in the other car to tell them I did not feel safe, but I still thought, at least we will get home alive. We reached the Native Jetty turn, and she asked whether to go left or right. My intuition told me left well before the turn. She swerved hard left, off the bridge. The car lost control. It flipped once, twice, thrice, four times, and finally hit the footpath before stopping.”
She further added, “Had we gone right and flipped off the bridge into Native Jetty, we could have fallen to our deaths without anyone even knowing where we had gone. I do not know how my friend managed to get himself out of a car flipped 180 degrees and pull me out too. I have never had to thank someone for saving my life before, but today I did. I will always remember him for that. Somehow, even in fight-or-flight mode, I remembered to grab our phones, bags, and everything else. I am just grateful we made it out. When I confronted the girl about driving recklessly, she had the audacity to blame me for something I had absolutely no control over. I was neither behind the steering wheel nor responsible for the directions. I was simply someone who had trusted them with my life. Accountability matters. Self-awareness matters. So does caring about your life and the lives of others. Please do not drive intoxicated. Please be safe. Parents, please check on your kids before handing them the keys. I am so grateful for this life and for a second chance. Here is the link to the Instagram post.
Netizens and fans expressed relief over their escape. A fan wrote, “I am glad to know you are okay.” Another wrote, “Hope you are feeling better now. Sending lots of duas.” One friend said, “Love you. Talk about this as much as you feel like. That really helps with PTSD. Stay safe, girl. Prayers for you.”
