Car Wreck

I was going to the bus stop with Jacqueline this morning, she was driving, when we hit a patch of black ice and started to slide.  There was nothing I could do from the passenger seat except to tell her to take her foot off the gas.  She hit the brakes, we slid across the road, did a 360 and slammed into the hillside... then did a slow roll onto the side.  We were both very shook up, but Praise God no injuries.  Amazingly, several cars raced by and did not even stop.  A friend of ours thankfully pulled over, and there was an off-duty hwy patrol woman who flipped on her lights.  Even with her being there, cars were still racing by - and several of them started to slide and another truck did a 360 before he regained control.  We had to climb out through the passenger side window and drop down.  I am guessing there's a good chance the car will be totaled - the second one since Karine had her accident several years ago and totaled our first blazer.   Hard lessons learned for young drivers, but God was good and kept us from hitting another car or rolling down the opposite side of the highway where there's a steep embankment.
