Accident!

Johnny came home last night and told me that he was involved in a car accident.  He was calm when he said it, and the fact that he went and played badminton afterwards sent me an idea that the accident was not a major one.  Then I started questioning about if he was ok, how it happened and whether the other driver was alright.... and to my surprise.  He said, "I hope she survive!"  My heart sank when he said that.  Why? What do you mean?  Are you serious?  Are there other cars involved?  I asked a bunch of questions and then Johnny took out his blackberry and showed me a picture of the other driver's car.  I couldn't believe my eyes.  That was a scary scene.

According to Johnny, the lady hit him on the side door behind the driver's seat.  As he was pulling over to the side, this lady accelerated her car and started driving on the opposite lane.  The cars on the opposite direction  slowed down.  Not soon after, the car ran into a big piece of rock and bounced back off to the street.  Two witnesses went and pulled the lady out of her car while Johnny pulled over.  Within minutes, the firetruck and ambulance arrived; so Johnny never got a chance to see the lady.  He and several witnesses gave a detailed report to the police and Johnny drove himself to the Y afterwards.  We both felt terrible for what happened, and we hope and pray that she made it through!  

I am just so grateful for the Lord for watching over my husband and in preserving his life!  Life is too fragile and we must learn to fully appreciate it everyday!

There's a slight discrepancy I found from the news.  Johnny's car was damaged on the side, but not the rear bumper as described.
