When we got home last night, I found out that my mom’s car hadn’t broken down but that they had been in a seven car pile up. A woman going up to 70mph hit another car and the trickle down effect happened. My aunt, who was driving, saw it coming but the light was red and there was no way to avoid getting hit.
Praise God everyone was fine. Praise God that they were able to drive away and didn’t need to be taken to the emergency room as at least 10 others needed to.
My mom said she now knows what the term ambulance chaser means. A lawyer approached her and my aunt as the cops took statements from everyone and the paramedics took away the injured, while she avoided talking on camera. She was unsure how a lawyer arrived on the scene so quickly. Or how a man whom she was sure she never saw exited one of the other six cars was suddenly so injured that he needed to go to the hospital. She and my aunt suspect he might have walked off the street and inserted himself into the accident. Who was going to question it? Every car had multiple people in it with people leaving church and heading shopping at 1PM on Sunday afternoon.
Praise God they were alright and uninjured. Praying for all those taken to the hospital, especially the woman who was hit first and had to have the jaws of life used to get her out of her car.
