AH!!!! This has got to be the wildest morning I have had in a very long time. Forgive me, but I am still shaking from the event. I am rolling to the Navy Base down hwy385 rolling around 70mph. As I approach the exit 1/4 mile away, I see these headlights coming towards me.......then they twist and turn.......then I see sparks and debree flying in front of me. I slam on my brakes with all I have and swerve to miss the upside down auto. Running over the guard wires and posts that were knocked down in the middle of the street. Finally stopping my beast, I put my wig wag kit on (thank God I had it installed a few days before), grab a torch flashing red light and my flash light. As I run over to the car I see a shelby county officer gettting out of the car in a daze. Amazingly, he had a cut on his finger and that was it. Man.....talk about my heart racing. A few seconds earlier, then It would be a different story, as I would have hit the car head on.....and here I was yelling at a guy that wouldnt get over at a light, so I could turn right on red.......that GUY just saved my life.

Well at work now with some java and calmin my nerves, everyone have a blessed day, as this is mine.........peace

Glad to hear you all were safe and unhurt! It can be a real nerve tester!

You have been blessed with another day under gods grace!

Thats exactly what I told the officer, that God was watching over both of us today! And to top it off, the reason he lost control was a plastic Nascar gocart body that was in the middle of the road.....WOW.

I had an experience many years ago and knew I was not in control of my vehicle on an icy bridge with multiple vehicles going in different spinning directions, I managed to avoid three spinning cars while I drove through the mess!

That was my day with the hand of god!

Lord works in mysterious ways man, not everything is obvious, when you see it, be sure to give him praise.
