Just got a disturbing email from a great friend. In fact, the email was terrifying.
My friend, and bowling partner, just informed me she would not be joining us tomorrow. Her hubby was in a car accident last night and is now (very luckily, we all agree) recovering from some minor trauma and a concussion.
On his way home last night he was stuck in traffic, just sitting in the express lane. The car behind him did not stop and instead hit him at an estimated 50 mph. Totaling his Cherokee.
Witnesses to the accident reported the other driver was in his car texting.
This is how I feel about it: There is nothing in the world that guy was typing that needed to be said at the risk of endangering other people.
If you are an avid texter, please think about it next time you're in the car and a message comes in. My friend was very fortunate, and we are extremely grateful for that, however this appears to be becoming a regular occurrence on the road. One I think we should all be trying to put an end to.
