Oh man, this accident near Ebersdorf on the B303… it really shook me up. I mean, three women injured? That's just awful. I wasn't there, obviously, but reading the news reports… it hit close to home. I’ve driven that stretch of the B303 myself countless times, and the thought of something like that happening… yikes.

What Happened? (According to the News)
The reports I read – and you should check these out for yourself, I’m just summarizing – mentioned a collision involving at least two vehicles. Three women were hurt, the severity of their injuries varied, thankfully none were life threatening, from what I understood.

Luckily I only ended up with a few minor scratches on the car. That was enough for me to get some serious driving lessons. Honestly, I was super lucky that day. It really shook me.
