Going through some folders on the hard drive today and came across a couple of pics I had forgotten about and for some reason felt the need to share them with everyone. You're welcome! :lol: :lol:

Background and context of the pictures:

These were taken at the scene of a single vehicle accident (don't worry, there's no gore) that occurred one chilly November morning a few years ago on I-17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff. The driver reportedly fell asleep at the wheel and left the roadway plowing right through the guardrail, becoming airborne, sending the vehicle over a drainage culvert, and finally coming to rest on its wheels but facing the opposite direction he was originally traveling. The driver survived with only minor injuries. In fact he was able to walk back to highway and flag down help.

The accident happened at around 4:00am. That's important to remember as it's still dark here in AZ at that time of the day. As dawn broke, daylight revealed just how lucky the driver was as it could have been far, far worse..

It makes you wonder what forces were in play to make sure this person didn't die. I'm a firm believer that when it's time for you to go,
it will happen and in this case, it just wasn't this guy's time. I've read countless stories like this over the years, including one back in the
late seventies about a 2 year old that went out of a window, took a 4 story plunge, but sustained nothing more than a couple bruises. :shock:
