Default Son in Acciident

My son,drives a big rig,over a million miles and 15yrs with no accidents,and he just had one in WV.He was driving 65 on the freeway and a pickup pulled right out in front of him.He hit the PU broadside.It killed the PU driver.As far as my son is concerned,he thinks all he has is a dislocated knuckle on his little finger from gripping the steering wheel.They're checking him over anyway.It also destroyed the big rig.The hwy patrol is all over it and said it's plain to see that the PU was in error and they also have several witnesses to that fact.Anyway,I'm standing on one foot then the other waiting on whatever his company is going to do and if I need to head for WV or not.Please say a prayer for the other driver's family.I guess this is not really an appropriate post for the forum but I have to pass time somehow.

I'm sorry to hear about this accident. The loss of any life is a tragedy. I'm truly sorry this had to happen to your son. Im sure all of the TQ family will pray for both the victim and your family.

I am glad to hear the best news in a situation like this, that he is alive and not badly injured. I am graterful to hear that and I am sure you are as well.

It is always scary to get a call like that and I hope you are feeling better now that you know he is safe and sound.

The rig can be replaced, the injuries will mend. It certainly was a blessing that it was no worse. Someone was watching over him.......

It will be hard of your son for awhile...thinking about the other Guy. But He should know that God is in control of each one of us no matter, what life throws our way.

(Mat 10:29) Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:


If the Father cares enough that not even a sparrow dies without his acknowledge, so even greater for us... and not only in death, but while we live does he care
I'll pray for your son and the family of the one in the pu.
