Hey guys. So today not even two hours ago me my mom, my grandma andy brother were on our way to do some shopping. My brother was driving he is on a driving permit. As we were crossing an intersection that is notorious for wrecks My brother pulles out and we were struck by an oncoming car. It hit the front of the car from the left and totalled the front the hood was nearly fully ripped off. My brother didnt see the person coming. Luckily no one was hurt in the slightest. A second or two longer and me and my grandma would have been t boned by a car going 55 at least. I thank God that no one was hurt or killed. My dad and grandma could have been planning 3-4 funerals today. Take a minute to hug your kids, wife, family and friends because a few seconds could make the difference in seeing them again. This is making me think about leaving my phone number in my profile in case you dont hear from me within a week or so on the forums. Anyways yah glad i can come tell you guys this.

Glad you and yours are OK. Getting close enough to death to smell his breath is always eye opening.

Good to hear everyone is okay.
Just a thought bro, maybe you should make it your mission to get that intersection fixed, so it won't take someone's life.

Wow that was close,very glad you & your kin are ok Steely.
Sounds like they need to install some stop lights,especially if there is a hill or even a slight rise aproaching the intersetion.
