Worst day of my life. I get a text message while at work from my wife. It said "Been in an accident. car totaled. Called 911. Can't get out". My wife and son are in the car. So I called her instantly. The brakes falled on the car. She drive the car into the woods and hit a tree.
I left work and sped home. I arrived to see 2 ambulances and a fire truck behind my house down by the woods. I ran down to the edge of the woods and saw the car smashed against a tree( the tree was in the middle of the trunk). My wife was on a stretcher coming up the hill. I asked her if she was okay and where is Noah (my 8 year old son). He was still in the back seat of the car.
I ran to the car and saw my little boy in the back seat still with a neck brace on. The first thing he said to me was "Daddy, mommy missed the garden but hit the tree". They loaded both of them up and took them to the hospital.
The brakes went on the car right when my wife pulled into the driveway. She drove past the house to miss going into house. She then missed 2 apple trees while going past the house downhill. She hit a dirt driveway really hard(took a 2 foot by 2 foot chunk out of the ground). She managed to get the car stopped but then it started to roll backwards (No brakes and tranmission is gone now). She hit a tree about doing 35 mph.
They are home from the hospital with some bumps and bruises but no major injury.
Car is still in the woods, I'll try to get pics tomorrow.
First time ever that life as I know it stood still. I mean the world stopped when this happened. They could of been killed if not for the fast reaction of my wife. Thank god they are okay.
