Lebanese actress Carmen Bsebs discussed her experience of surviving a severe car accident two months ago. During her interview on the program "Indi Su'al" on Al Mashhad channel, Carmen said, "Two months ago, I was involved in a very serious car accident that felt like a blow to my face. Suddenly, I realized that in one second, you could lose your life."
She added, "The accident happened in Lebanon while I was on my way to shoot the series 'Nathra Hob.' I was thinking that in the next couple of days, I would be filming scenes involving a car crash; in the storyline, I experience a car accident and fall into a coma. I thought I would delay filming and wouldn’t drive my car, so that I wouldn’t fall asleep while driving."
Carmen continued, "On the evening of the same day, while I was on my way back, I was involved in a big car accident. I collided with a car in front of me, the car flew, the airbags deployed, and I swerved left and right, ultimately stopping in the middle of the road. The car was completely destroyed, but the shock was that I was not harmed at all."
She described the urgent moment, explaining, "At the moment of the accident, my husband called me because he had my number saved for emergencies. Modern smartphones have a feature that sends warning messages to contacts in case of an accident. My husband received messages that I had been in an accident, so he called me. Initially, I didn’t answer, but then I did and reassured him."
Carmen revealed that she started to comprehend what had happened the following day, saying, "I suddenly felt that in less than a second, a person could lose their life. I didn’t post a picture or news about my accident because that’s not my style, and it doesn’t matter to me. I told my mother about it the next day while she was at my house to ease her worry. Even though she saw me right in front of her, she couldn’t stop crying because she imagined what could have happened to me."
Carmen concluded her remarks by expressing her gratitude: "I thank everyone who helped me, starting from getting me out of the car, calling for an ambulance, and ensuring I was okay."
