Horrific crash has a silver lining
6 comments | Read story
I had a friend impaled by a wood pole while riding a bicycle to school. A park and rec truck was parked on the wrong side of the road, and no red flag on the sharp end sticking past the front end on the side of the truck. As my friend was trying to pass by the truck, a car veered near the bike, causing my friend to move to his right and impaling himself on the pole. It missed all vital organs, blood supply and bones. He lives, as "the Machine" does.
Bravo to the emergency personnel and doctors.
Hopefully they caught the person who ran the stop sign.
Just in case anyone is wondering..A red stop sign means COME TO A COMPLETE AND FULL STOP! Utahns have a notorious habit of not obeying all the traffic laws.
Man, I hope you thanked your Heavenly Father for sparing your life again.
You've got something BIG to do on this earth.
I hope you soon find out what it is and get'er done!
Get well soon -
Dan
