The A.M. Accident
January 24, 2008
Well my brother Jesse and I are on our way to the office we are about one block away on Flagler. We get to the green light and begin to drive then all of a sudden a woman in a green Expedition truck T-bones a caravan. It all happened so fast, we immediately pull into a nearby parking lot and rush over the the van. The van appears to have a child car seat in back. the Woman in the caravan rushes out to take the car seat out. Luckily the baby was on the opposite side from where the van was hit. When I saw the car seat my heart dropped. I felt bad for the other woman in the expedition but at the same time she took a red light. I sometimes think to myself when I drive fast is it really necessary to drive thru yellow lights? I mean even if you are late there’s no need to take those lights, Just wake up earlier next time. In one split second you can hurt someone else and or maybe hurt yourself. Everyone was ok but the cars were damaged pretty bad. The state trooper arrived asked me what I saw and grabbed all mine and Jesse’s info. Pastor Travis pulled in few moments later. Everything was ok, but for the most part it reminds me that I need to be safe when i drive. That could be me. So please if you are reading this quit trying to drive like Ricky Bobby!!!”I mean that.
Thanks for the reminder. I will pass it on to Trav and Marcela, since I never drive fast or aggressive.
