Accident

I keep forgetting to write about an accident Jerry watched happen just down the road from our corner. A van was coming toward him and suddenly began to swerve. It went across the road and into the ditch, hit a culvert, rolled completely over and landed on its wheels! Jerry was in a car with his friend, Bernie, so he jumped out to see if anyone was hurt, while Bernie called 911. The windows on one side were all broken out. A woman was driving and in the back seat was a little girl in a car seat! They were shaken up and had cuts from the glass but seemed okay except for shock. Jerry said it was like watching slow motion when the car hit the culvert and rolled over. Reminds me of when we saw a garbage truck roll over right in front of us a couple of years ago! It was like watching slow motion... Back to this accident. Thank goodness for seat belts and car seats for little kids. They would have been thrown out the windows! Jerry said the little girl was just sitting there looking around and suddenly began crying. A reminder to drive carefully and buckle up!!!
