The “Bauer sucht Frau” dream couple Anna and Gerald Heiser recently had a serious car accident, but fortunately apparently escaped with the horror. “Life hangs by a thread,” writes Anna in an Instagram story that has now expired, which can be viewed on “RTL” among other things.
“Fortunately nothing happened to us,” she explains further, but the car will probably no longer be able to be repaired. “We had many guardian angels,” she is certain. A kudu antelope ran into her car from the side. “The children were well buckled in and well protected thanks to the child car seats.” Their son Leon was born at the end of January 2021, and their daughter Alina at the end of November 2022. Fortunately, little Alina in particular was well protected by a roll bar and the baby seat so that she was not hit by broken glass. “Things like this make you realize how fragile life is.”
Heiser also makes it clear how upset she is with another contribution in her stories. “We’re on our way home. Driving on the dirt road. Bush left and right,” she writes on May 8. “I’m trying not to hyperventilate. Really stupid feeling.” She was sick, but she had to “pull herself together so that Leon doesn’t notice”.
In another Instagram post, Heiser goes into detail about her current world of thoughts. She feels “mentally naked, delivered, powerless, this accident destroyed my personal ‘safety bubble'”. The family was “incredibly lucky” because such accidents often ended “much worse”.
“I’m afraid of having to get back into the car because I have the feeling that it’s going to happen again in a moment,” says Anna Heiser openly. “Maybe I can live with that somehow. But how am I supposed to deal with the panic fear of not being able to protect my children?” She doesn’t know if she will ever be able to forget the accident and the pictures that came with it.
“I’m saying it now for the first time: on Friday Alina and I escaped death,” Heiser continues. “The antelope hit my window first. If it had already smashed it, I would probably be dead. Alina was saved by the child seat.” That’s why she wants to appeal to her friends in Namibia: “I know that there is no law in Namibia that children have to buckle up when driving. […] I know that they don’t always want to buckle up in the child seats stay, but they get used to it. Children are the most precious thing we have. Protect them as much as you can!”
