Grace, I'm so thankful that your daughter and her friend were not more seriously hurt. I hope they both have no long term affects. Remember to take care of yourself as well. Easy to say, hard to do when you are no doubt worried about them both.

They ended up having to life flight her, but all is well. Some heavy cuts, lots of abrasions. I had a really hard time getting to the accident scene---they told me *No*. I told them *YES!*, and my neighbor gunned the engine and off we went. The car brought me to my knees. She's an inexperienced driver, as it is. Evidently, she was traveling at a high rate of speed (60-65mph) on our country road, and attempted to pass a handicapped community service bus,(My bus.) hitting it in the process. A Fed Ex truck was coming so she veered off the road and climbed a bank, taking out 3 or 4 small trees before rolling several times. My God, the car was on it's roof, the front bumper had somehow gotten tangled in the back axles, exposed and displaced motor and gas and fluids everywhere. No one knows how those children lived. Only a half hour later the car burst into flames and burned. Thank God for seat belts and air bags. I'm over at my Exes house today as I stayed here all night. Her passenger is still hospitalised and was on a morphine drip last night as he couldn't stand the pain of his ribs. She refused to allow them to admit her, so she is here with me. She did a lot of moaning last night, and so I kept checking on her through the night. They assured her Dad that there are no internal injuries, but it's scary nonetheless. There is a compassionate and loving God who was looking after them. Grae ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
