Default Valentines/family weekend from h3ll

The accident that was shown on the Edmonton news Wed nite, the small grey car and the red dump truck hit very close to home. It was my wife that had to be cut out of the car. Bad weather, bad roads and a white out were the contributing factors. A total of approx. 10 ribs broken, both lungs punctured and a lot of cuts and scrapes.

She is doing better but has a long road to full recovery ahead.

All of our thoughts and prayers are with her today!
Car vs dumptruck could have easily been a much worse outcome.
Glad to hear that she survived

Here's hoping for a very speedy recovery! 2 accidents so close together, lungs and ribs involved, scary stuff!

Holy crap, Elk, that's terrible.

In a weird way, it could be the BEST Valentine's day ever when you really consider the possibilities.

Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery sent from the Treehouse bud.
