Dear brothers and sisters,

On the seventeenth, I was driving home from Tucson to Sierra Vista. I had just went to church and was on the interstate I-10 headed home. I looked down and opened my phone to make a call. When I looked up, I hit something extremely hard. I had no idea what I hit, but I was going 80 mph with a speed limit of 75. All I thought about was keeping the car from rolling and managed to keep it under control.

As soon as I was stopped, I realized my airbags had deployed and was surprised that I hadn't felt a thing. I climbed out and was instantly worried that I had killed someone. I saw a small pickup in the median between the outgoing and incoming freeway traffic. It was approximately fifty yards from were I was.

The paramedics checked out the driver and found that he had minor whiplash, very much to my surprise. The police officer informed me that I hadn't hit the truck, but that he had been towing another small truck and I had rear-ended it, which rear-ended the driver.

The truck I hit was nowhere in sight, so I asked the cop where it was. He pointed his flashlight far down the freeway and I could hardly see a reflection in the distance. It had crossed both lanes of oncoming traffic and ended up in the bar ditch some 200+ yards away. The estimated speed of the driver was 40 mph when I hit him.

I just want to thank the Lord for his mercy and keeping me safe without a scratch or pain of any kind. The only damage I had was a busted lip.
