Yes, I was in a very bad accident back in 2004, but God was merciful and I came out of it without any broken bones or any bloodshed. My brother, his wife and myself were going home after we had been to my grandmother's house after she had passed away and divided her things among 6 kids. We were on Highway 57 in Illinois and hadn't gone but maybe 50 miles when a tire had a blow out and started to pull us off of the highway. My brother's wife was driving and she began to apply the brakes.We were slowing down but not fast enough. We were heading straight into a parked semi-tractor sitting on the side of the highway. My sister-in-law turned the steering wheel hard and we went into a spin and landed on the other side of the highway facing sideways as we looked up we could see the grill of an 18 wheeler heading straight towards us and just like that he hit our car and knocked us off of the highway. We went air-borne and came down the side of a ravine and rolled over several times. When we stopped we were all in shock but thankful to be alive and for God's angels watching out for us!
