We were a few cars back Just missing the wreck Her car was smashed No worse than she was really The other guy had gone on to heaven Before anyone even came To the scene of this collision She was an old friend And we’d had some trouble But that was in the past Now… I wandered what happened Was she going to be ok? She was drunk as one gets And driving way past the limit Feeling like the 90 proof Had made her invincible I would have been the one Who she crashed into to, too… Except for the divine intervention That kept me just far enough away To see everything that day Without feeling as smashed as she did!

Hi Regina…..how awful and frightening for everyone involved. Will she go to jail for manslaughter now that the other guy passed away? Debx

Oh wow! I would hope this was fiction, but the picture means it really happened. I'm so glad you experienced this as divine intervention. Glad, too, that you were not either of these cars.
