Late last night my son and I was watching tv waiting on the Mrs. To get home from work. Well about 10:30 est I get a phone call from my wife screaming and crying at the top of her lungs. It was very hard to understand her. There was a very loud beeping noise in the back ground. At that point my son heard the police scanner talking about an accident at exit 179. I had a bad feeling that this was where she was.
I jumped in the truck and headed to the exit ( about 3 miles) still with my wife on the phone and not being able to make out what she was saying... took me about 1 min to get there and here is what I pull up to.
At first I thought my life had just slipped away from me. I get out of my truck and run up there. Thank god she was alert and was able to speak. The police department pulled up just shortly after I got there, and then the ambulance. Other than some bad bruises and a few scrapes from the glass she was fine. So off to the hospital we go to get checked out.
Spent a few hours at the hospital to make sure that nothing internally was damaged. Which thank god there wasnt.
So this morning I had to go and take care of the car. All the police did was have it towed off. So i get there this morning and start looking at car
There are three reason for this post and all 3 of them are very dear to me.
Thank god my wife is fine
Do not ever, I mean ever text and drive
Volvo.
I will explain number 2.
Yes the young man that ran the red light and hit my wife was texting and driving. She was lucky, but most of all he was lucky. So to everyone you reads this please share it texting is the number one casue for automobile accidents.
On to number 3.
My wife drove a Volvo s60,
She wasnt happy when I bought her this car, she said it looked like a mama's car. (I traded her lexus is250 for it so she was already not happy)
Let me tell you this volvo saved her life. The air bags that come equipped on this car are amazing.
So for that, thank you volvo your car saved my wife's life.
