Luckily, he walked away!



My husband rolled our Explorer on his way to work this morning. A good samaritan stopped and helped him climb out the other side of the car. Amazingly, he walked away with only bumps and bruises.

He is doing fine ~ I am not! I am a wreck. If he'd hit that guardrail just a few inches back, the drivers head area would have been just as smashed as the back of the car. I get teary just thinking about it.
I had a game in the back of the car that I'd gotten at an estate sale a few weeks ago - and the piceces were strewn all over the on-ramp. As I was helping the tow truck driver clean the area up, this is what I saw:



I think it sums it up quite nicely - I picked it up and put it in my pocket. I'm going to add it to the bazillion Thankful Cards I have in my heart tonight.

Oh my holy, holy CRAP!!! Something like that just shakes you to the very core. I'm sure you two will hold each other a little closer tonight. I want details on how he rolled it!

My ex-husband rolled our car once. He fell asleep and woke up and over-corrected. Rolled one 1/2 times and ended up on his head. You know what he was LITERALLY thinking while he was rolling??? "Wow, this seatbelt really is working!"

He wrecked our other car later that day by falling asleep again. Not a good day for him.

SOOOOO glad Romeo got out unscathed.

Wow! That is so scary! My husband works as an EMT in Wendover, and they get A LOT of rollovers. I'm always surprised as to how many people walk away without a scratch.

Many others aren't so lucky, but they are usually drunk and not wearing a seat belt.

OH MY GOSH!!! What "luck" indeed. Maybe if there was a card in there that said "God" that would have been lying on the road.

I am sooo glad that he walked away and came home to you.

I am so sorry. Car accidents are second in horror only to moving. Even though he walked away, it is by no means over. Buying a new car and dealing with insurance companies, no fun. So best wishes with all of that H E double hockey stick kind of stuff. And yes knowing your loved ones almost died, not really helpful in the sleeping department. Make sure you are sleeping, even if it needs to be drug induced sleep for awhile. Big Hug.
