Issues with our vehicles usually mean spending a bunch of money on repairs. This is the reason why most of us try to locate the problem ourselves before asking from a professional to handle it.
If the issue is minor, we can save money, and that’s probably the main reason why we don’t call a mechanic right away.
Unfortunately, such a decision could cost one woman her life.
Alon Abare experienced horrific injuries one day after she made a choice to check on her car herself. This mother of four was scalped after her hair was caught under a fan belt as she leaned into the hood to check for a mechanical problem.
She felt excruciating pain and started screaming as hard as she could, still unaware of what had happened to her.
Luckily, her children heard her cries for help and acted very quickly, ending up saving their mother’s life.
Abare’s son Sam turned off the engine and her daughter Logan caught her hair free with scissors.
“They were focused, and they were driven by… you know, I think they wanted to save their mom,” Abare told Inside Edition.
She was lucky she was still alive, but her recovery has been a long and a painful one. She incurred outrageous medical expenses as a result of the incident, but the worst of all was the though that her children could be left without a mother.
Abare is now trying to warn women of the dangers of similar situations.
One of the most important things to do when checking on your car is to make sure you pull your hair back.
We wish Abare recovers completely.
