Hey Chris,
I’m sending you my thoughts and prayers that Steve makes a full recovery. Emalyn is upset about seeing her dad like that like I let her the doctors and nurses and his mom is watching over him they will try their best and whatever they need to do. Again sending my thoughts and prayers.
@Liz How is he doing now? I keep looking for updates but I put my number on here so your more than welcome to text or call me at anytime. Also my friend that was the nurse n who’s property it was pretty much on the corner she’s been checking to. She was the very 1st out there. We couldn’t do nothing but try talking like I said letting him know he wasted alone help is coming when help got there n had us move back from away we stood behind the other driver was on the ground u can’t see him but even him all he wanted the fire men n first responders to do was take care n help your fiance. But please give me a call or text we can set up a day to come and meet you me and my friend Carla if y’all are still at Baptist. He is a fighter n I believe he is n has fought this hard for you and everyone else that loves him n he loves cuz that was a bad wreck n now it says there investigating it. I keep saying I don’t see anyone driving up to a red light that fast unless something went wrong with his vehicle or him ya know but I don’t like talking about it on here so if u want to jus call or text me anytime and there’s a lot of ppl praying for him. And his family n loves ones to stay strong for him.
@Brandy – he’s still fighting! His prognosis has changed so much but they’re trying to wake him now. His body has suffered so much trauma that I’ll be hooking up an IV full of whole milk. I would like to find a way to meet you, to give you a hug or something. Again, thank you so much!
@Liz . We hope to meet both of you together one day. Prayers are with him n he is definitely a fighter cuz the fact he’s still with you is a miracle. We will keep praying for all of you.
A light there will fix all these wrecks.
@Brandy – I want to thank each and every one you from the bottom of my heart. He is alive because you guys stepped in, you all are his angels. He’s a fighter and he’s fighting for his life. I hope to thank each and every one of you one day. God bless each and every one of you. I will keep you updated! Thank you!!
@Liz it was on the corner of my best friends property n she’s a nurse she was first out there I followed n another friend. I’m happy to hear he will make it. We talked to him when we realized he was breathing also my friend and the other one with us tried getting the back door open to help him more but it was locked. Prayers are with him and your family. Please keep us updated.
@Liz We will definitely continue the prayers for your fiance ,you and his family. We pray for a full and speedy recovery .
Thank you to everyone who stepped in and helped that man in the van. He’s my fiancé and he’s still alive for all the selfless people who stepped in until EMS could get there and all the prayers. We could still use those prayers! Words will never be able to tell you how grateful we are that he’s still with us! Thank you so much!
The man driving the van will have a long road ahead of him but is stable.
They said the light would help with any future accidents, but there is always things that just happen people just need to look out and don’t play Russian Roulette with the lights if it’s turning yellow slow down or stop don’t try to run it that’s a problem a lot of the time. Life is so precious I think we all have ten seconds or more to look both ways just for security sake!!!!
I came through there yesterday about 4pm. It’s so confusing. Both vehicles were facing south but on the northbound side of the highway. I pray the van driver is OK.
I live in Molino and did not see the wreck. But when my husband got home from work, he was telling me all of the emergency vehicles heading north on Highway 29. I knew it had to be something bad. I am so glad the young man is going to live. And Ricky, it was wonderful reading all the wonderful things you said about your mother. I of course do not know you or your mother, but she seems like an amazing woman. And you are an amazing young man Admiring your mother and her abilities, and the respectfulness that you have shown Reading what you wrote about your mother was a breath of fresh air in this world that we live in now.
Ricky IDK if your mom was the woman that was in a pink outfit with blonde hair but it happened on property my best friend owns who is a nurse and she was the first to the man in the van n when I ran to it she had already thought the worst bcuz of not feeling a pulse there was at least 3 that didn’t and the good Lord had him breathing again after she ran n checked the other driver n that lady with the blonde hair my friend that’s a nurse the blonde hair lady n myself were trying to tell the man he’s not alone help is coming n when state troopers got there n asked us to step out of the way the lady with the blonde went to her vehicle so I was jus wondering cuz so many ppl was there before any first responders who your mom wa
S. It was amazing to see so many ppl come together and try helping this man.. But props to your mom she’s an angel and was there for a reason n my best friend Carla was the one also there she was the first one there cuz it happened at the edge of her property but last I heard he was hanging in there. We have been praying for him also. Thanks to your mom also n her risking her life as well.
@TMondello- that nurse is actually my mom! She truly is the definition of a nurse. Not just on the clock, but 24/7 365 days a year. If she sees anything or someone not well, it don’t matter what she has going on, she will put her own life to the side to do what it takes to save someone. Then she’ll walk away from it like she didn’t just do some hero stuff. That lady is the most selfless and caring woman I’ve seen. She dont even realize the credit she deserves. Always the first to run to a situation most people want to avoid, and will throw herself into danger if it means possibly saving a life. Even in the height covid pandemic, there was a wreck I believe at hwy 29 and Kingfield and her and my grandmother were passing by and she immediately stopped, no gloves or mask or anything. The thought of the risk of her getting covid 19 wasnt her concern. She seen a helpless woman or man in a car that if I remember correctly was either rolled over or smoking or something and I think the driver was unconscious, so her only thoughts were try to get that person to safety. That’s exactly what she did. When I got off work later that afternoon and she had told me about it, I said
“are you crazy? You could have been hurt or lost your life or if that person did have covid you could have gotten it”. All she did was look at me and say “I was there for a reason, we were running late for a reason. Everything happens for a reason. If me and your grandma weren’t running late then we would have already passed through there before it happened, so the person could have lost their life before EMS could get there. So no I wasn’t worried about being hurt or getting sick or any of that, because God put me there at that moment for a reason, and if I’m serving the purpose that God has for me then I believe he is going to protect me!” Sherrif Chip Simmons was off duty and happened to be passing by so of course he got out to help and finally ems and fire department got there. Sherrif Chip Simmons even ended up making a post about her and the way she handled it on Facebook. I definitely feel blessed and like the luckiest person to have had the opportunity to be raised by such and amazing and strong woman. When I hear someone say “not all hero’s wear capes” she always comes to my mind. Watched her do these things since a small kid and growing up I’d always say thats my super mom lol
I was there. Everyone jumped in to help. A nurse ran across the highway to check on the van driver. Everyone thought he was dead but she was the one to examine him and called out he’s not dead call the ambulance. With her help he came to. He was pulled from the smoking van. She had blood all over her hands and I gave her baby wipes to clean her hands. That’s a NURSE!!! I wish I had gotten her name. That’s a hero. She didn’t hesitate to get her hands in blood. I’m so thankful no one died. So many helped until medical and police arrived. A retired police officer , Scott’s pharmacy provided fire extinguisher that a worker from thrift store thought of. God Bless them all.
Praying for a safe outcome for everyone. This was a terrible accident. Prayers for everyone involved.
Big prayers for the driver that was sent to the hospital. This was a bad bad wreck.
Praying for everyone involved & their loved ones.
Clear now. The outside northbound lane was blocked but it looked like any vehicles were on a truck ready to go. No real congestion around 5:30 pm.
My son was the car that was hit from behind. He is at the hospital but will be ok. Super scary for a mama and dad that don’t live near him. Thank God for big trucks. Prayers for everyone.
We came thru there just after it happened..Totally awful accident.
People had fire extinguishers trying to help.
Prayers for all involved, and thank to the strangers trying to help
My prayers going up for all involved! So sad.
