Recently around mid April I met with an accident when going by Uber to Ma's place. I had noted since the driver looked to be a novice and the car was stopping and starting at times. Suddenly when we were at the A S Connector, he didnt brake in time and the car slammed heavily into the car in front. My phone flew from my hand and I was slammed bodily into the front seatwith my head and neck taking the brunt of the impact. This was the first time something of this sort had happened. The driver was luckily unhurt. He looked around and I screamed at him "Kya ho gaya?", "Accident madam, brake fail ho gaya". I was searching for my phone which I had dropped in the chaos, and on spying it near the driver's side reached down to retrieve it. The driver ducked, I think now that he was probably thinking I would hit him with my mobile or something. I tried to call the uber company but could not find any helpline number. Then I called the police number 100 but noone answered. Luckily immediately I had called police, I got a call from Uber asking about why I had called Police. I narrated the accident , they asked me if I had any injuries and I said yes I did. They said that someone from insurance would get back to me, advised me to take some other transport to reach my destination. Later on I did not get any other calls from uber. I was so shaken I sat in the car for half an hour. The driver meanwhile was arguing with the occupants of the car he had hit from behind, trying to reach a monetary settlement. After some time I felt a little better, handed the driver Rs200 as token fare and reached Ma's house by a bus.
