This car was right next to me when he merged to the right. I thought he was just pulling over into the shoulder, but he just kept going right. He must have gone 200 yards thru the grass,hit a hump and went airborne,he rolled over about 3 times and came to rest on the right shoulder.
I saw the accident after it had happened, I knew it was fatal. So, I instantly started praying for the victims and there families. I’m praying that God will strengthen you.
My family and I saw the whole thing in front of us. We were traveling northbound and my wife had noticed a vehicle that made a hard left on the southbound side of the interstate (vehicle was about 1/4 mile in front of us). It was a very violent rollover. The rollover was coming at me. It must have rolled over a dozen times. My wife was telling me to slow down and move over (to the right side of the road so we wouldn’t be struck). The wrecked vehicle stopped and came to rest just as I approached it. I feared the worse for any occupants of that SUV. Thankfully the car and semi in front of me pulled over to render assisstance. I had a minor in my car with special needs and I did not want to shake-up my wife and son with what I knew was a fatal accident. Also, I don’t own a cellphone and couldn’t make a call to first responders. May God Bless the victims and their families.
My prayers are with you all. I pray God will comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time. Draw closer to God and draw closer to each other.
