A Close Call

Angus and I are extremely blessed today. On the way to school this morning we were almost involved in an accident. Had we been about 3 metres (9 feet) closer it would be another story.

A car came around the bend near the hall, not far from Angus's primary school, and had gone into a skid. The back end of the car came onto our side of the road. We managed to get past safely. As I looked into the rear view mirror the other car had done a 180 degree turn and ended up in the drain area, which is quite steep, and came to a complete stop. By the time I turned our car around and went back to see if the driver was safe he was getting out of his car along with his passenger.

I asked them if they were okay. Offered to let them use my phone. As I was saying this another car was coming from behind me. The driver had flagged him down. It was a co-worker of his. I heard the driver say that he was okay. He also stated that he was only going 80 km when the skid happened. I know the road was slippery from the rain that we have had but I am sure he was going a little faster than that. Not that it mattered at that particular time since no one was physically hurt. They said they didn't need my assistance so I went back to my car, checked on Angus and then took him to school.

Angus was a little shaken of course but he was okay. He knew it was a close call for both of us. All I know is that Heavenly Father must have been watching over us this morning to make sure that we were safe.
