Justin, my brother had a bad accident years ago that haunts him. He was driving his BMW 328i. He was an hour from home when he hit black ice and rolled three times. He was not hurt bad. An ambulance was called and the state police. He was sitting in the police car talking to me on his phone when he started screaming. The paramedic was standing at the back of the ambulance when a semi came over the small hill, hit the black ice and hit the ambulance with the paramedic in between. It has been 6 years and he still cries when he drives that road.

All we can do is be there for them.

I will say a prayer for him.

justin, big truck accidents are scarry. alot of the places my dad has worked at i get to hear stories of the "old timer" truckers, & some absolutly crazy accidents. one was driving a tri-axle peterbuilt dumptruck on the highway, there was an accident further up the road & traffic was at a standstill, he was the last in line at the bottem of a 3 mile long hill. he glanced in his mirror in time to see a kenworth tractor come barreling over the top of the hill, picking up ALOT more speed on the downgrade, with a trailer that was later found to be way overloaded... the guy was going 90+, and our friend in the dumptruck said he " set the parking brakes, jamed the truck in reverse, held both feet on the brake petal and said a prayer for his family & the familys in front of him. the KW plowed into him at 95mph after locking up his brakes, the dump truck was utterly destroyed but amazingly EVERYONE walked away from the wreck, the car in front of the dumptruck got hit & hit the car in front of him, but not bad.
