Literally giving me goose bumps.
I got this picture in a e-mail today. Showing how a young 20 year old driver and his 18 year old passenger survived a car accident with just some bumps and bruises. He was driving like 75 mile a hour. His truck with through a fence and flipped in the air several times then landed facing the opposite direction it was traveling. Please check out the photo.
I always have a second picture to add that shows the accident at another angle. I will add it to the first responder for all to see!

Wow Louise!! That is something incredible!! Those kids probably had to change their pants after that happened to them!! Why do kids think they're so invincible? Driving 75 mph is plain insane!! I didn't do that stupid of things when I was their age!! In fact, a guy took me and my exhusband whom I was married to at the time, 100 mph down a highway and it liked to have scared the toot toot outta me!! I begged for him to stop and eventually he did but I wouldn't trust him after that.

It you look at the second photo I am attaching you will really see how much of a miracle it really was. There is no way that they would have lived to tell about it. At this angle you can see the truck and people standing in front of the truck if you look closely.

Obviously, Jesus has plans for that person's life. Yet, some people will call it luck. I don't believe in luck. I believe in Jesus.

Jesus does not have to "try" to do anything. He is perfect. I think he was sending a lesson their way.

I think Jesus was trying to kill them, he just miscalculated a bit. If he was trying to save them he would not have sent them hurling towards a precipice.

I looked at that first pix and it was like - HOW DEEP IS THAT HOLE? Then the second pix showed it was as deep as I feared!
And, after checking snopes - its true! Well, maybe he was alone in the truck and it was in 2006... but otherwise, true.

Hi Louise, Having looked and commented on both pics I would definitely say that it was not their time. A miracle indeed. In fact God creates so many miracles each day, many small ones that people don't even notice but should be very thankful for. Hope the people in this truck appreciate the intervenation eh! Thanks for sharing. Huggles. Ellie :D

You are sure right about the goosebumps.Praise the Lord and pass him the keys...Some will say that this was just lucky , but I bet that you could shoot a truck across there a hundred times and not get it to stick...

Truly the Lord is good, It's really a miracle for them to have survived such an accident. This incident would really change someone's life. The Lord has others plans for them, maybe to let people know that nothing is impossible with God:)

Jesus was certainly at the wheel of this truck, only he could do something like that. I believe it, theres still something for these young men to do, some people wouldn't believe it, they would say these guys were lucky, but it was more than luck..Have a good day

If they were drinking and driving hopefully they will think twice before they do that again.
Thank God Jesus took the wheel!

That was miracle. In a car accident like that supposedly they are now in the emergency or ICU of the hospital. But surprisingly they are alive with a little bruises. Maybe God did not allow them to die already for they have their missions still on earth. And not ye their time to face God.

Jesus took the wheel. I hope if they have not that they will surrender their all. This is something that will really make you think about how bless you truly are because they could have been gone. But their lives were spared for a reason. WOW!

When I received the same forward I only had to look at the first photo to know what I would see in the second. Something about it made me remember seeing that spot in a movie and I knew the drop was virtually bottomless. I suspected a potential fake but I've seen things just as miraculous so I wasn't surprised to find it was true when I checked the facts.
A childhood friend of mine was in a crash a little less than 2 years ago. The guardrail he hit pierced the cab of his truck and ran though the other side. Pictures taken at the scene made it impossible to understand why they weren't cutting the guardrail out of his corpse but, the Lord took a hand and moved him so that the guardrail missed him completely. They had to pry things apart to get him out but he had slid completely out of the way of the rail that destroyed the drivers area and was left sitting in a way that, if he had been in the drivers seat, would have all but cut him in half. Instead the vehicle collapsed in a way that his body was out of the danger zone as the guardrail came through.
He spent a few seeks recovering from the accident but, the net effect was to bring him back to God. Raised in church like I was he had stepped away for many years but he knew he couldn't survive that Night without the hand of God.
