The moment the airbag exploded, I smelled something burnt.
It wasn't the burnt smell of tires rubbing against the ground, it was the smell of burned metal and wires, mixed with the smell of blood that hit the nose. My whole body was stuck between the seat and the steering wheel, and my chest was painfully strangled by the seat belt. My right knee was pressed against the instrument panel, and my joints made a snapping sound.
In the field of vision was the deformed front of the car, the hood tilted up, and white steam hissed out from the gaps. The windshield was shattered into spider webs, and through the cracks I could see the front of the truck stretched across my face like a wall.
My taxi was a total wreck.
"Cough... Cough..." I gasped for air, my mouth was full of the smell of blood, and my brain was buzzing. His vision was blurred, and all he could hear in his ears was the sound of his heartbeat and the piercing chirping of some electronic device.
Etc.
That truck.
Just now, it rushed out from the corner at a speed of at least eighty. I hit the brakes - no response. I turned the steering wheel - no response. Then came the impact, the world was spinning, the air bags exploded, and the sound of tearing metal pierced the eardrums.
