It was in August 2010. Bethany went home with her boyfriend from a visit to her aunt. Her boyfriend was driving, Bethany was sitting in the passenger seat. There she made herself comfortable, put her feet on the dashboard and fell asleep. Everything was quiet.

But then suddenly there was an accident.

Farther up the highway, another car collided with a motorcycle. Thereupon the truck braked in front of the car of Bethany and her friend. They could not brake in time, their car slammed head-on on the truck.

This is how her car looked like after the accident.

Bethany's knees were thrown through the airbag into her face. Her nose, cheekbones and eye sockets were broken, her jaw shifted and her feet were smashed too. Bethany survived, as did her friend. But since that day her life is not the same anymore.

She has pain every day, has to take 20 different pills to numb her. She can no longer sleep peacefully and needs help in everyday life through a domestic help.

From the outside she looks normal again, but inside her body is still damaged.

Nevertheless, Bethany is grateful that she is still alive. With her story, she wants to save other people from making the same mistake they make. So, remember Bethany's accident, if you make it comfortable in the car, please never put your feet on the dashboard. It may be comfortable, but this position can become a life-threatening trap.

Sit upright and use your seat belt - it can save your life!
