How did that thing end up driving into him? I sometimes still have a moment or two when my accident from last fall enters my head and I always think of the families when I pass one, like the other day... not far from where the young one goes to school. Next day we passed another one by the mall on McKercher. It seems to have gotten bad out there, no?

Accidents are scary. Anyway, i agree with you when you said people stare when there is an accident. It causes traffic! <em>Laarni's last blog post..<a href='http://www.laarnaay.com/ldr-long-distance-relationship/' rel="nofollow">LDR is torture</a></em> was it totally wrecked? Accidents are scary.

It's ironic that both of our posts ended the same way, only I said, "Please take time to count your blessings today." Death sucks for the survivors. <em>Shelli's last blog post..<a href='http://shellis-sentiments.com/2008/05/27/first-reassurance/' rel="nofollow">First, Reassurance?</a></em> I’m so glad he is okay.

I quit slowing down and looking after my mom & I were in an accident in '82--I'll never forget seeing all the passing cars with the passengers in them pointing and gawking, and the feeling of pointless anger it gave me. Here in CA they call the gawkers "looky-loo's"--I think it labels them with the ridiculousness they deserve. I always say a prayer when I pass an accident--or an ambulance passes me. Thoughts and prayers for your family and the families of those kids in tori's comment. Glad he’s going to be fine.

Four lanes were funnelled down to two. Spent an hour going 2 miles. Could see lots of flashing lights from about 1/4 mile away. Then we found out why: a large SUV was on its side on the right shoulder of the freeway--undercarriage facing traffic. A body-sized tarp was in the 2nd lane from right. I instantly didn't care how long it took us to get where we were going. And apologized mentally to that family for my previous grumbling. So very glad your brother will be ok. His angels were definitely on the ball for this one. Don't test them again, ok, Danny? Got stuck in an incredibly slow traffic jam recently - at a day and time that doesn’t usually happen.
