UH-OH Accident!

Yesterday I was in my last class of the day and I got a call from Chad but didn't answer, he then texted me and said I needed to call him. I immediately left class and he told me that he was in an accident on his way to the office from lunch. He wasn't hurt at all, which is most important, but his truck definately suffered some damage. Here is the story: Chad was waiting at a stop light when an old man fell asleep at the wheel, or lost consciousness (the man wasn't really sure what happened) but he slammed into an older truck who then slammed into Chad. Chad was pushed into the intersection and so lucky that no one was driving through it at that time. The old man that caused the accident was taken away in an ambulence, the other guy was fine and so was Chad and his passengers. The other two cars were totaled and had to be taken away by a tow truck, luckily Chads is still drivable, but he is going to need to get the bed of the truck replaced. The old man's insurance will take care of the costs, and provide a rental car because it could take a while to fix it. I felt so bad for Chad, his new truck has had some tough times so far, and he just put his Lakers license plate cover on and that is ruined too! He is going to get an estimate on the truck today and hopefully it will be fixed soon. One of Chad's friends took pictures of the accident scene so once I get those I will post them. But we are just so grateful that nobody was seriously hurt and that we aren't going to be responsible for paying for a new truck bed.

I found your blog! I am so happy because now I can stalk you! hehe! I am so sorry that Chad got in an accident. It is probably because we told you guys all about our accidents with tires and deers. Sorry, we are bad luck. We missed you today at church! Hope St. George was good!
