I have been out of town for a few days. Monday we got a call from JPS hospital in Ft Worth. My 17 year old grand daughter and two of her friends had been careflited there from Granbury. Tiffany and four of her friends were in a terrible one car accident. The driver, who is much older than the three passengers , was three times over the limit for Alcohol in his blood. He was arrested. ( But he is out on bond. To bad the kids he had with him are not all out of the hospital.)
The three kids were not drinking. I cannot understand why they went with him since he was so drunk. But they did.
He was driving down a straight stretch of county road, he went over a small creek, then for some reason known only to him, he accelerated to 120 mph and after a few hundred feet jerked his steering wheel to a hard right , went airborne, took out a telephone tree and hit a tree.
The car was split in half. The kids in the car did not have on seat belts. The driver did, he also had an airbag. He came out with out a scratch.
Tiffany has multiple fractures to her pelvic bones and tail bone. She will be wheel chair bound for 2-3 months. Lots of physical therapy in her future. Praise God, she is alive and home again.
Nick, Tiffany's boy friend, suffered a scull fracture. He was thrown from the car. He had serious swelling in his brain with blood building up. Only prayer and God's grace turned this around. He is home, no insurance or I am sure they would have kept him and Tiffany both.
Hayes, the third young man, was in the front seat. He went through the windshield. He is stable at this time. He is unable to breathe on his own. He has lost use of one of his arms and one leg is still in question. He will begin reconstructive surgery to his face as soon as he is well enough.
The moron who is responsible for this has been charged with assault with a motor vehicle causing serious injury. I hope he finds God. But I do want justice for these three young kids he has almost killed.
Prayer for us all. |
