I got that same phone call a few years back that my son had been in volved in a 3 vehicle crash on I-10 between laff. an scott.
cop didn't give me any info except that ambulances had been called and he was being taken to the hospital and hung up.
wife said i looked like i could die when i hung up the phone.
we called a friend in scott and asked him to please go check on our son. ( thanks Mr. dale)
he arrived in time to see that our son was jjust banged up and had a good size knot on his head and called us as i was on the way from B.R.
After all was said and done my son and i sat down to talk . He looked at me and said, pops, you remember when you were teaching me to drive and
you kept trying to make me learn how to drive a half mile ahead. I said yes. he then told me that even though he wasn't thinking about looking ahead he was doing it. he said he saw the accident starting in the left lane ahead of him and knew that it was coming into his lane and he had to move . so he took the shoulder as he braked and then realised that it was still coming so he took the grass b4 he got hit. ended up against the fence along I-10. Then he told me, See pops i was paying attention .
i didn't know wether to hug him or smack him . but i did tell him i love ya and i'm glad you are ok.
Not an easy thing for any parent to go through . All we can do is pray that we've taught them well and Hope they were listening.
