So glad Alex is OK, Mark. I had a similar experience, although not quite the same as it wasn't one of my children. My brother and nephew were on their way down to UM for orientation. My nephew was driving , drifted toward the right lane and when he realized he was about to sideswipe a car, he over adjusted. They rolled several times into a ditch somewhere near Grayling. I was waiting for them to arrive. They were late. Got a phone call. Scared the shit out of me..............My nephew had very minor injuries. Walked away. My brother had a broken collar bone and a few other none vital injuries. Car was totaled. When I saw pictures of the car, I was AMAZED they walked away from it with minimal injuries. They had told me as much but actually seeing it adds a tangible aspect.

Great, water that tastes like mole'asses.

[Marko69]

Oh no, definitely not. Ice cold HS, is the dugs nuts.

But I tell you what......, if any of you visit......, go to Torridon. There is a natural spring/pool/stream area that comes down from the mountains. Amazing early morning face splash and drink. Very invigorating

throw him a lucky to be alive party and don't try and dwell on what could have been.. life is so fleeting at times we all take it for granted... prayers out and a big hug

Thanks Bro. Good advice. Will do.

Wow Mark, I just saw this. Can't add anything that others haven't said, but I am glad he's ok.

That's too close to home, buddy. Glad all turned out well for your son.

That's crazy, Mark. I'm so glad everything turned out OK.

Thanks guys.

Thanks DanO. I am heading over now to get it out of the towing lot. I will post pictures.

I am still having a problem keeping my emotions under control. I never expected anything like this to affect me this way. It's crazy!

[bimmer84]

Not crazy. Understandable.

-------------------------That's crazy. My worst fear, and yours, and it's going to be worse. .................Oh MAN!!!!!!!!!.

[Malto Marko]

Wow, looking at the pics, it doesn't look as bad as I saw it in real life but, still chilling to look at.

[Islair]

Catching up here.

Good job AE, right back at it!!

Holy crap MM, glad he is ok. I would still be shaking.

[Coop]

MM - if anything, the car did what it was built to do worst case, protect the driver. I myself have not been in anything near what that type of accident was, but am of the firm belief not to dwell on what could have happened.

In the end, he's ok - that is what is most important.

[kayrone]

Oh wow, just finished watching Searching for Sugar Man - loved it! Thank you SLF - if I hadn't heard you mention it on here it would not have hit my radar. Such a fascinating story!

[SeattleLionsFan]

It's a great story. Ms. SLF and I went to Portland to see him play after seeing that. And thank Bill the Cat....he was the one that insisted we see it.

[kayrone]

Ahh, I knew there was someone you were discussing it with, just couldn't remember who. Thanks Bill!!

[Malto Marko]

So happy to be at work this morning!

Seatbelts FTW!
