Front view of damaged Buick Angle view of damaged Buick

While driving by Allan Park (corner of 2nd SDR Conc and Allan Park Rd in West Grey, Ontario), a van pulled out without looking in front of Karl as he was approaching the intersection. This caused an accident sending him (he was alone in the car) through a fence and down a fifteen to twenty foot drop off.

Fortunately, Karl was going well below the posted speed limit and didn’t injure the driver of the van (who was ticketed for failing to yield) or the young passenger in the front seat.

Soon after visiting the emergency room, Karl was released with orders to “take it easy”. He received a mild concussion and injuries to his neck when his head hit the steering wheel… other than that his chest hurts a little bit from the seat belt restraining him, and his knees are aching, we assume from the dashboard.

The accident could have been much worse. We are so glad that Karl is going to be all right and that we had a spare vehicle to use as backup transportation. We have so much to be thankful for!

    I was afraid to look. But I have, and I just thank the Lord that Karl is okay.
    The Lord went out before him and protected him.
    And may he be healed completely in the name of Jesus!
