It wasn't my time.

Coming home from work tonight I had a car come all the way over into my lane and luckily I was able to swerve and he hit the utility body on my truck ripping out the rear and totaling the trailer. My son and I walked away with nothing more then a small burn from the seatbelt and a little soreness in my neck. The driver of the Thunderbird had to be cut out and was airlifted to the shock trama in Christiana. I have heard he has since been released but don't know.
I just thank the Lord for good reflexes and His hand upon me or my wife very well could now be a widow. You just never know when your time is up.[img][/img][img][/img]

YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!

What was the other driver doing?
What made him/her cross into your lane!

I still can not believe you were so close! AMAZING!

Not to be an ass, but look at the T-bird, the car did it's job, crunched around the driver. Leaving the driver's area open enough for some to survive...

Whoa! Glad you and you're Son are okay, that looks like a hard hit!

OUCH!

glad to hear everyone is ok,,they drive like idiots out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I'm glad you're okay. You're right, the Good Lord says it wasn't your time. He has other plans for you.

I have no idea what he was doing. I saw him start over and I got on the shoulder and then he made a beeline for me all I could do was grab a handful of steering wheel to the right and hang on.

Glad everyone survived!! What a close call..Just hope whatever the other driver was doing ,that they won't do it again . If there's a next time for them ,everyone may not be so lucky again. I'd make sure and Thank God a few extra times . You are a lucky man !!!!!!!

Thank the Lord you are OK, Thanks for giving him the credit. Hope the other guy is Ok too.

WOW Disaster can hit at any given moment and quickly. X2 on what everyone else has said. Glad there were no fatalities.

Wow Mel. Glad you are ok. God was on your side for sure.

Geeez!!! Glad you and your family Made it ok! If it was a cell phone that caused the driver to swerve I would be kicking his face in.
i had a guy once that was on his cell phone swerving all over the road so i went to pass him and he decided to speed up and keep me from passing in the passing zone. Followed that guy all the way to the street he lived on.

If I HAD too be on the same road w/a guy that had just drank a beer,and a person texting, i'd choose the guy w/the beer anytime. JMO

Glad you and your son are OK Mel. I agree with Rick about the cell phone retards. We've had 3 accidents last fall here and all were female students that went to the same High School as my kids. All 3 perished, and the reports have indicated that they were texting while driving. Had another one just yesterday right at the turn off to my house, and it looks to be the same cause.








Doug...

the way i see it if you can attempt to text and drive you need a standard transmission and alot of hills and turns instead.

Glad to hear you guys are okay. Someone was watching out for you.
