Lucky!!!
"Karen Chuplis" wrote in message ... My nephew, his girlfriend and his mom were out playing pool last night. Driving home, he was hit by a speeding truck that was being chased by police!!!!! They were all OK, but his car is totaled. His new mustang that he waited months for while he was in Kuwait is completely irrepairable. However, they are enormously lucky, because if the timing had been *seconds* different that truck would have plowed into the drivers DOOR!!!! He had an angel on his shoulder last night. He is broken hearted about the car of course. His very first. I know that in days to come he will be more thankful that no one was really hurt (he *is* but you know how that feels when your very first car is maimed in any way let alone totaled). Mom said that the liscense plate they brought home is just *crumpled*. He has good insurance so they called right away. His GF is a very quiet person and I think helped him a lot. Well, his mom won't be getting rides for a while (she's a real piece of work and a whole 'nother story. Suffice to say there is a reason he lives with my mother.). Whew. Just had to tell everyone because I'm busting with amazement and not a little tearage and panic at what might have been. Karen oh my god. Tell him to forget about the car and to focus on how lucky he is. My dad was killed in December 2001 when a truck crashed into his car. I start to shake every time I hear about an accident - thank god your nephew's accident didn't turn out to be a tragic one. Brenda |
