That was short lived!

 So much for a good start to 2023! Yesterday on my way home from dropping the kids off at school, I got a phone call that Brad had been in an accident (not even 1/4 mile from our house.) I had to run home and put a bra on because well who wears a bra to drop the kids off when they are still in their pj's.  Then I quickly got in the car and went down to the wreck.  Brad had been turning left at a traffic light and a lady in a mustang ran the light and hit him right in the middle of the two doors on the drivers side. It pushed his truck around and caused his passenger rear tire to come off of the rim. His airbags deployed and his glasses went flying and landed in the side of the passenger door. His truck kept automatically calling 911 and saying it appears you have been in an accident. Thankfully he was not seriously injured, we are a bit worried about his back now that he is feeling the effects from the wreck. I am going to call the chiropractor for him and get an appointment.  We said we had wished that he had been driving the Mercedes because it is not very valuable and an older car, but then looking at the wreck and the way she hit him, he would have been seriously injured if he had been driving it instead of the truck.  Its kind of crazy because he had been driving the Mercedes a few days before, but he had just taken it back a day or two before because something wasn't working correctly on it. I am thankful the Lord protected him and that there were not any kids in the truck with him at the time. 

 

This is what I could see from down the road. 

She literally made a hole through his drivers side door. 

The passenger tire is all the way off the rim 




All the side airbags deployed 
The tow truck driver was joking with Brad and said "so I am guessing you called me because you got a flat tire."

The pictures don't really show the extent of the damage to his truck 


Her Mustang was pretty messed up.
