Last night my dad was in a terrible accident. He got low on his sugar and got confused coming home from work, he was very lucky.
I don't think you can tell from the picture how steep this edge was that he went over with his car. There was a tree stump in the middle of where you can see the tire tracks. The cops and my brothers say that him hitting that stump is what kept the car from going over on its top. (I hate to think what things would have been like if that was the case). He was able to get out of the car find his cell phone which by some miracle was on the dash board and once out of the car he was able to see his glasses on the floor board. He started to climb up the hill to get out of the river he was in, when he lost his footing and fell back down into the river, cracking the back of his neck and shoulder blades on one of those huge rocks. He said, at that time he was able to climb onto the bumper and take a bigger step to base of the tree and use the branches to help get him to the top. Mind you it is 8pm and in the canyon with no lights. He thought when he got to the top that he was on a gravel road but the farther he walked he was able to start seeing the lines in the road. Justin Facer, on of my brother Tyler's friends was the first to find him. Justin got him in his truck and took him to the nearest house to get him a drink by that time Tyler and Josh were there and picked him up brought him home. My mom took him to the ER were they put him on a board and in a neck brace so that they could do some CT scans. Lucky for him no broken bones, and no extra damage to the shoulder that he just had surgery on 4 weeks ago. I believe with all my heart that he was not alone last night. Someone was there helping him when we (his family) could not find him. Truly we are blessed.
I know that angels walk among us every day, some that we see and many that we don't. I can't say enough how blessed I am and how thankful I am that someone was watching over my family last night.
Thank you who ever you are.
This is the steep edge that the car went over and the river below.
You can see the rocks that he cracked his back on
