On Wednesday, the 30th the kids and I were involved in a car wreck.
I drew this nice little picture to tell what happened.
We were on our way home from the store about 2:30pm.
We were approaching the major intersection by our house and preparing to turn left (our van is car #1 in the drawing). The turn lane is unusually long for some reason, and there was maybe one car stopped at the arrow light which had just turned green.
We had a long ways to drive in that lane before we actually were going to turn left.
Suddenly car #2 decides to do a U-Turn and doesn’t see us. He pulls out, makes a hard left turn, and we essentially t-bone him.
His Forerunner had unreasonably large wheels, and because of that, our van hit him hard and then pushed him right over.
I was super scared we had killed him, but after a couple minutes he popped his head out of the driver’s side window.
I’m pretty sure his big wheels saved his life. If he had been at our same level I would hit him hard right where he was sitting.
We were all very blessed in the whole situation, and we’re thankful we were being watched over that day.
Always think twice before making illegal U-Turns :)
We’re still waiting to hear if our van is totaled or not…
What do you think? Should I get my hopes up for a new van??

whoa that's crazy! bet he regrets that u-turn! and by the looks of your van, it should be considered totaled!
Wow... I Am so glad that everyone is ok. He'll never make a u-turn and not think twice again. PS: Your van looks like a gonner :)
so glad to finally hear the rest of the story but more glad you are all safe. Ben had a hard time looking @ pics because he said it was too close to home. ;) Our car looked half as damaged and was considered totaled--sad we won't be twins anymore! :)
I think you'll be looking for a new van. That one served you well. Get one that keeps you as safe as that one.
Good job on the illustrations.
Love you.
