It all happened so fast. Chase was slowly following the natural curve of the road when he noticed a car drifting into his lane. But given the close proximity of both drivers, he couldn't react fast enough. He was, however, able to catch a glimpse of the female driver who was looking down, and he was 99.99% sure she was distracted by her phone. He jerked his bike to the left before he felt the impact, the head-on collision sending him flying over her car. 

Chase landed on the road with a hard [i]thud[/i], the force knocking the wind out of him. He was able to register the vehicle screeching to a halt, which meant he was alive. In pain, but alive, and that was good.

"[i]Oh my god, are you okay?[/i]"

Such a stupid question to ask. Chase slowly rolled on his back despite of the fact that his entire body ached. He didn't dare remove his helmet nor did he want to move anymore than he had to as that may cause further damage, so instead, he gave the girl a thumbs up.

"Call 9-1-1", he told her as loud as he could. Chase noticed the girl's expression changing, and he knew she had just realized how much trouble she was about to be in. For peace of mind, Chase looked over at the girl's license plate number to try to memorize it as well as the make, model, and color of her vehicle. If she decided to run, she wouldn't get far.

But apparently it wouldn't come to that. Chase could make out the girl's distressed voice talking to the 9-1-1 operator and giving them the details of the accident. He hoped his uncle would be the one dispatched to the scene, just for the sake of having a familiar face there with him. 

Before he knew it, Chase heard sirens slowly getting louder. He tried turning his head just the slightest amount and he was able to see a police car approaching followed by the fire-rescue truck. Now he could breathe a little bit easier.
