Another Accident

As you probably already know, the highway in front of our property is a magnet for accidents. Today, a young woman (Hubbie estimated her age to be between 18 and 22) lost control of her car in the curve of the road (the one I have a hard time seeing around in the morning when I try to exit our driveway) and plowed through a barbed wire fence, narrowly missing a telephone pole, and landed in the pasture across the road.


Hubbie, who was in our yard at the time, was the first to reach her. She had flown across the front seat and hit her head on the passenger side windshield, and she was dazed and said her head hurt, but otherwise seemed unharmed. Hubbie called 911, and within minutes, emergency personnel and policemen arrived.


This photo shows emergency personnel loading the young woman on a gurney and preparing to get her into a waiting ambulance.


This young woman is lucky. Several years ago, late at night, a young man failed to negotiate that curve and flew into the ditch. He was dead by the time Hubbie got to the car.
