A Friend's Wild Story

We had some friends over for supper this evening. While we were eating they told us a story of an experience their 22 year old son had.

He was on the phone with a friend in Kentucky who he had met through another friend. While they were talking, she interrupted and said, "Shoot." He then heard tires squealing, her screaming and a big bang, then silence. He said, "Hey, you ok? You there?" After a long pause she said, "No, I'm not ok - I just got in a wreck. Gotta go " and hung up.

Freaking out he tried to call back - nothing. So later in the day he sent a text message - no response. He sent an e-mail that evening (that's how they usually communicate) and nothing.

A couple of days later she wrote an e-mail saying she was ok.

Yesterday he talked with her on the phone. She started the conversation by saying, "I killed my car, but I'm fine." Turns out, she missed seeing a car when she pulled out and got T-boned on the driver's side of her car. She was pinned in the vehicle and had to be cut out by "the jaws of life." She was pretty brused up, had a nasty case of whiplash and shot nerves, but otherwise fine.

That just blew me away. Imagine being on the other end of a phone call with the person you're talking to getting into a pretty big wreck. WOW!

That is freaky!!!

Drive safe ya'll - especially when I'm on the phone with ya! :)
