Definitely one of the scariest phone calls I've ever received was Riley calling to tell me he'd been in a serious accident. It had been misting for awhile so the roads were wet when Riley drove over a slick spot on the road and lost control of his car. He was traveling through a construction zone so he thinks he must have hit something that caused him to lose control. His car spun toward oncoming traffic but hit the median which popped his tire and then spun him the opposite way completely across all three lanes of traffic before ending up facing traffic on the side of the road. Just as he leaned to ask Jess if she was okay they both saw a truck lose control in the same spot he did. A couple more cars spun out of control and ended up being like a four or five car pile-up. It was so dangerous that they had to move from his vehicle to hide behind a concrete slab until the police and ambulance arrived. It took us awhile to get to them because we weren't home. They were both pretty shaken up and scared. Riley ended up with a concussion. I am so grateful that God protected them from major harm. I pray often that they be protected from any major accident, injury or illness and I truly believe that God was answering that prayer for me that evening!!
