7 Car Accident!

On Friday afternoon four of my girlfriends/co-workers (JoLea, Michelle, Terri & Becky) and myself had just attended the Inspire Women Luncheon downtown and as we headed back to the office on Highway 59 we ended up being part of a 7 car accident. This was one of the most terrifying moments in my life!

I noticed to the far right lane a big commercial truck hit the vehicle in front of him and then before we knew it the mini van to our right started to come into our lane - JoLea tried her best to avoid making contact but the mini van still hit the back of the SUV we were in. My precious friend JoLea (who is pregnant) managed to keep her composure as we were spun around, hit the concrete barrier, and then spun around again only to land in the middle of the freeway with JoLea's door facing the oncoming traffic. Thank God the traffic had already come to a stop! We managed to finally get the vehicle started and moved off to the side of the freeway.

As you can imagine all five of us were pretty shook-up. Michelle called 911, I called the office to let them know were in a wreck and then we all called our husbands to let them know what had just happened. We were all worried about JoLea and the precious baby girl, Allison Grace, she is carrying - praise God she was not hurt physically and the baby is doing just fine. No one in our vehicle was hurt but two other drivers were taken to the hospital.

We have all checked in with each other today and yes we are so SORE but thanking God for his protective angels who shielded us from physical harm. JoLea's vehicle was damaged and will be repaired - a small price to pay for such a horrible accident. I am again reminded of God's sovereign grace in my life...

Here are a few pictures:
