“The driver was careful enough so I had no issues with him but then, out of the blues, a truck jumped right in front of us. The road was wet as it had been drizzling. The driver tried all he could to stop the car but the slippery road just made it look like he did nothing all I was shouting was “JESUS! JESUS!! JESUS!!!” and with a speed of about 100km/H or thereabout, we rammed right into the back of this truck.
He further wrote “God being so merciful and wonderful, we got out with very minor injuries. How the tail of the truck was stopped from causing major damage to us is just God’s doing. God, I thank you for life, I thank You for your mercies, I thank You for Your Grace and for your love on sinners like us. May your name be glorified forever in Jesus Mighty Name!!! Amen!!!”
His friends, fans and colleagues have taken to his comment section to express their joy that Klint Da Drunk is safe and unharmed.
