Car Crash

Philip was in a car crash yesterday morning. A semi rear ended a car forcing the car into Philip's lane. Philip had very little time to react and ended up hitting the car straight on. His airbag deployed once the car hit but the impact caused the car to spin and hit the truck Philip was in on the driver's side. This caused Philip's truck to hit tree on the passengers side. Here are some pictures of the damage.





Some glass from the window. Luckily he had his window down with the impact or he would be pretty cut up right now.


They cut Philip's pants and shirt to check for injuries. He was very upset that they destroyed his clothes.




First thing he went for when we got to the truck was his lunch box in the bed.






Philip came out of the crash with minor bumps and scraps. As you can see from these pictures it is miracle he is alive. We have thanked God so much since it happened and have been more mindful of the blessings we have. Philip has been resting a lot mainly because of the medication he is on. He is not in very much pain mainly sore muscles. He probably will not be driving for a while. On going back home we took an alternate route from 25. He is now nervous driving on that road.

I am soo glad Phil is alright. What a blessing it was that he walked away with only bumps and scraps. You were definitely being watched over. That is amazing. I'm sorry about your pants, but they were doing there job. And I'm glad you ended up being alright! There can be other pants. : )

Take it easy, Phil. We love you!

I'm glad he was in a truck instead of a little electric car. I can't imagine. Tell him I can fix his pants too.
