Almost a week ago, June 15, 2009, My family witnessed the hand of God upon us. I, my wife, 3-yr old daughter, wifes younger sister, and their cousin, just started our drive home from vacationing in San Diego California. We were driving through a mountanous, very rocky area with huge boulders all over the place. My wife was driving and I was reading a book in the passenger seat. The speed limit was 65mph and my wife believes she was going about 60mph. We were coming around a sharp corner when right in front of us, probably 50-ft, an 18 wheeler was stopped in our lane, which was the right hand lane. In the left lane another vehicle was stopped. There were more than three people also standing in the road. Apparently there was an accident that just happened not even minutes before we got there. Well as I said I was reading a book and when we came around the corner and my wife saw the road was blocked with no where to go she was applying the brake, and knew instantly, there was not enough stopping distance. I remember her asking what she should hit. I had no answer for her, and I told her after this was over that she did exactly the right thing. She had control of the car and steered away from the 18-wheeler, and she tried to miss the other vehicle and the people. She barely missed the vehicle and the people which we were now on the shoulder of the road and next thing we know, there was a boulder we hit. All I remember is white smoke in my face and us rolling. We rolled over big rocks and boulders and came to a stop on all four tires. All I could think about was is everybody O.K., especially my 3-yr old daughter. As soon as we stopped, I jumped out of the car and opened up the back door to get her and she was perfectly fine. I did a quick survey of everyone else, and everybody was fine, no blood, no broken bones. My sister in law got the worst which she had a contusion over her left eye. I am attaching pictures of my car, and one picture shows the car from the accident before ours. God definitely held our car and the passengers together. Thank you Lord for your protection. Today is fathers day and the best present I could get is my daughter is safe. And to God, Thank you, Happy Fathers Day!
