A lucky escape

Pam Tyler has just returned from a winter holiday

and has a story to tell about a very near accident.

Pam travelled with her husband, Steve, and her

two children, Kev and Lucy. They were very happy

when they started the journey. ‘The children were

so excited,’ says Pam. ‘Christmas with lots of snow.

It was the perfect holiday!’

The Tyler family went by car and took the car

ferry from England to Norway. ‘It was very cold,’

continues Pam. ‘And the children asked again and

again, “Is it snowing in Norway?” When the boat

arrived it was amazing. The snow was really heavy!’

They arrived at 6.30 in the evening and they had to

drive for two hours to get to their holiday home.

But first they had to drive through the town – on

the right hand side of the road! Pam was the driver

with Steve beside her and the children were in the

back. At that time of the evening it was dark and

snowy and it was difficult to see the road. Pam

drove slowly. Suddenly she saw a red light and

stopped quickly. She was just past the light.

Steve shouted, ‘Drive!’

‘But it’s red,’ said Pam.

‘Just drive!’ Steve shouted. ‘Now!’

Pam drove and a few seconds later a tram passed

behind them. The red light was there to stop the

cars when the trams passed. In the snow Pam

stopped the car after the light and she stopped

ON the tram lines. Luckily, Steve saw the tram and

saved their lives!

‘There aren’t any trams in my town in England,’

says Pam. ‘I didn’t know about the tram lines. We

nearly died. We were very lucky. Of course, Steve

drove for the rest of the holiday!’
