That’s my aunt, and yes luckily she’s okay. Nine mile be busy. Waiting on some test results from doctors.
Isn”t that the same location where a vehicle flew across nine mile road and crashed thru a mobile home and killed someone a few years ago?
…an absolute miracle…
I travel Nine Mile Road everyday and what I am wondering is how she managed not to hit another vehicle on Nine Mile Road as she had to travel across four very busy lanes. Hopefully she is recovering!
Thank God for small miracles. Hope she’s OK.
Glad she wasn’t seriously injured. Appears the truck will be ok and drivable once out of the pond and fence.
Prayers for healing.
Luckily the truck stayed upright. Considering there is a ledge on the driver’s side, just one wheel on that ledge and it may have flipped the truck and the passengers cab would have been trapped under water. Thank goodness that did not happen. And thank goodness the water line was low.
Hopefully the driver is OK.
We often take life for granted and at any abrupt moment our lives can drastically change or end. Always drive safely yall and God bless.
