I Witnessed A Miracle: Witnessing A Car Accident

February 19, 2015By Jen Petty

I’ll say it again….I witnessed a miracle!

I saw the middle stages of a little Ford Focus Hatchback taking a hit, flipping in mid-air, and the aftermath that ensued.  As soon as I heard it, I looked out my window in my office because I like to work with the blinds open and sun shining in and I saw metal pieces and tires flying everywhere and a small car flipping once, twice, then landing right side up.  It was like watching slow motion video and then stillness.  I was scared to death that someone was badly hurt or even dead because there was no movement for a second.  I yelled to Justin who was cooking us some gourmet lunch at the time and he yelled “Call 911!” and dashed out the door.  While calling 911, I saw movement and a  young woman jumped out of the car and ran around to the passenger side….to get her infant child out.  The baby was moving and seemed to be fine but in shock and the man in the truck said he was okay but stayed in his truck, probably in shock as well.  The 911 operators were great, quickly taking down the info they needed and with a sound in their voice like they were eager to help.  It was refreshing considering the stories we have all seen on the news about people at the 911 command having a bad day or lackadaisical attitude that ends up costing valuable time and lives.
