I have been super crazy- trying to chalk it up to the full moon. How's that for rationalize a car accident? First- my son is OK, however, we've had a bad few days. He was on his way home from school (college is 1/2 hr away) and was hit by a dump truck loaded with gravel that crossed into his lane. He was on a windy road with nowhere to go. His car is demolished- he was trapped for a while and then life flighted to area trauma unit. Hours later- they released him with cuts and bruises. I swear he had a copassenger with wings. I look at pics of the car and I cannot believe he basically walked away. The State Trooper called last night to talk to him and he told me they were doing accident reconstruction after they took him in the ambulance because they thought he would be severly injured or dead. They impounded the car- for the same reason- it is actually locked in a box at the salvage yard. Luckily, there is an eye witness who told them the truck went over the line and ran over the front end of his car- sending it backwards and onto the guardrail. Another six inches and he would have been crushed and killed. The impact sheared the right rear tire as it struck the guard rail.

I am a proud mother to know her son was obeying the speed limit, no cell use, and wore his seat belt. It was an older car and had no air bags, but it was as solid as a tank.

And now I know why I believe in God and angels. Anyway- we are now sharing my car and I am driving him to school. I am stranded here at work until someone picks me up later. :) So maybe tomorrow I can go to the post office. :)
