My brother's wife (Kristen) and their little boy (McKay) were involved in an accident. Other than I few scrapes and bruises they are both fine. It happened south of the house. Kristen had just dropped off Wyatt and the baby at my mom's house... which was a huge blessing in itself. They were on their way to McKay's Preschool Thanksgiving dinner when the truck began to slide and rolled. I'm so thankful they were in the truck instead of the car.
When the truck rolled Kristen's purse went flying everywhere, they both ended hanging upside down... "some how" Kristen's cell phone landed by her feet and she was able to reach it and call 911. When Kristen got them both unbuckled and tried to get them out she was not able to because the doors were jammed and she couldn't get them opened. She tried the windows but they also didn't work. Cars kept driving past... no on stopped to help... they probably thought no one was in the truck. I think a few silent prayers were said. When Kristen tried the passenger window again , she was able to open it. About this time the first response unit was there. Which is another blessing because it was a familiar face... Kip Davies. And from there it snowballed with family and friends showing up to see what they could do to help. It is such a HUGE blessing to have such wonderful neighbors, friends, and family!
When I talked to McKay later about what happened... all he said was , "I was scared". I think a few tear were shed. We are so happy that both of them were not hurt. They most definitely had angles watching over them. The truck on the other hand (which is not important) is a different story. Now they will be getting that MNIVAN a lot quicker. :)
