English term or phrase: she saves herself from going over
Mary holds the steering wheel with both hands and she is leaning forward. Her eyes are wide open and she’s overly careful. The car windows are both open and as she is going higher in altitude the air starts getting colder.
She leans over to close the passenger seat’s window but it’s hard. The handle is a little stuck and so she tries harder. All of a sudden she looks forward and the car is going right into the steep cliff. She turns the steering wheel back towards the center of the road and just in time ***she saves herself from going over***.
She is breathing heavily and you can tell she’s scared. She stops the car for a second, puts the emergency lights on and she gets out. The darkness is really extreme. The noises around her scare her. She goes to the passenger side and opens the door. She closes the window and then comes back to her side and gets in. She’s looking around as if someone is out there to get her and she quickly locks all the doors and fast as lighting she rolls her own window.
