In an attempt to avert a head-on collision with the motorcyclist and save his life, I swerved my car off the road and accidentally rammed into an electric poll beside the road. The impact of the smash was devastating. Immediately, I lost consciousness, only to wake up on the hospital bed after some hours. I thank God I’m alive today with my two eyes sightful because the accident nearly made me blind.
I was later told by a good Samaritan who took me to hospital with the help of the producer of the movie I was actually going to hold a meeting with that they immediately took me to the hospital.
I can’t really remember the name of the hospital I was taken to because I was unconscious. All that matters to me then was my sight. I spent just 3days at the hospital and the accident only affected my face. My sight regained strength and I can see clearly now”, Olaiya exulted.
