Daughters car wreck

[Tikaani]

Normally I would not post something like this, what you do in your car is your business, however I know some of you have sons and daughters that drive.  I have told my children a thousand times to stay off of the cell phones when driving, a thousand times they have been told pay attention, it only takes a split second to loose control.   Our youngest lost control while answering her cell phone on the gravel road from the house, the car went over the side of the mountain 90' and hit a tree, rolled over another 20', the only thing that kept it from rolling further down the mountain was it hit a large birch tree.  The Man above was watching over her that morning three weeks ago, she survived with a bruised knee, one thing I have told her did get across, she had her seat belt on and the air bag deployed.  It took this for my youngest to finally understand her car is not a phone booth.

Thanks for posting the warning, but I sure am glad that your daughter was only bruised and nothing worse.  Sometimes it takes something like this for kids (and some adults) to understand that there are people that are telling them things for their own good.  Again, glad to hear that she is O.K.

Yep, good reminder of what can happen.
I bet it scared her pretty good !
Dang glad she walked away with just a bruise !

I'm also glad to know she's fine.    That could have been much worse with a branch thru a window. I told both of my kids the same thing but they won't listen to Dad either.

You already know how I feel John. I have shown my children and MY WIFE. 

I'm so thankful that young'un is okay. It could have been so much worse.

The ol' man upstairs deserves all the credit for sure. Thank him for the blessings! I'm also thankful for this post as my kids will read it also.  Glad it turned out the best it could have for you.

Glad to see the little lady came out of that nasty accident with only a bruise.   It was a VERY good thing she had her seat belt on.  She could have been thrown from the vehicle.   

My youngest daughter did the same thing, rolled a Chevy S-10 pickup, in her senior year of high school.  The seat belt saved her from going through the open sun roof. 

Sad to say but some times life's lessons have to be experienced to be learned.

Sure am glad everything turned out ok.  Don't be to harsh on her, I'm sure she learned a very valuable lesson in all this.

   John......I am so glad she is OK......
Thanks for posting this for others to learn from.

Glad it turned out the way it did John, and I bet the lesson is now seated deeply enough you'll never have to mention it again.


Glad to hear she came through it the way she did.

Wow, I can only imagine what went through your mind as you looked down on THAT.

Showing this to my daughter who gets her license the end of this month.

Whew, that's way to close... I'm glad she's ok John.  My girl ran through a field, minimal damage still scared me though, can't imagine how you felt looking at that.

Very lucky young lady John. Fortunately God watches over them when we can't. Glad she wasn't seriously hurt.
