I witnessed a really bad accident 2 days ago as I was driving to a meeting. It was on the highway, and traffic was moving at least 70 mph. A car in the right lane didn't see traffic was stopping a head so he swerved into the left lane and ran right into a car. The car in the left lane spun around and the air bags popped open. The car that swerved flipped up and flipped into the ditch. It was so freaky. There was debree everywhere and the car that swerved was upside down in the ditch. I immediately started praying that no one had died. I was so shocked by it all, I didn't know what I should do next. There were people stopping and running to help. People were on their cell phones, and assisting the injured lady from the car that was hit. I started thinking, should I stop? What would I do if I did? Do I look like a jerk if I am the first person to drive through it without seeing if everyone is ok? I have no skills or abilities to offer. Then, I realized there are enough people helping, I would only be in the way. So I slowly drove by, praying for the people there. I felt sick to my stomach. As I continued to drive, I was feeling happy about all the people that did help. I witnessed the goodness in people, the genuine care and concern people have to help and do whatever they can so someone, a stranger, is safe. My hope in people was restored a bit since I sometimes think people only care about themselves, especially when driving, and I hope that if I am ever in that situation, people will come help me too.
***I heard later that night, that no one died. There were some serious injuries but no death- Praise the King!
