This just happened. Wife was driving, her back is hurting and we think she will be ok. She is a pregnant so a great scare for me. Life keeps getting better.

She was alone coming from her first visit with the doctor for this pregnancy. She was discharged and of course can only take Tylenol for the pain. The airbags did not deply, not sure why. That telephone pole is busted and needs replacing.

A truck came over and cut her off, she had to swerve to oncoming traffic and then back over. Overcorrecting and hitting a 01 civic in the process.

Was a Hispanic female from what my wife said. She never slowed down. Told her she should have let her hit our truck.

Yep hindsight is 20/20. It's good she is an attentive driver and was able to try and avoid it. The outcome sucks, but the truck hitting her could have been worse.

I am glad she is safe. You can always replace a car.

Were there witnesses that saw the truck?

The guy she hit in the Honda saw a truck speeding by he said. But he said it was a white f250. The truck that caused this was a black silverado half ton from what my wife described.

The blows chunks man, the good thing is that your wife is ok as well as your new baby. There is a blessing coming out of this, maybe not right now but in time for sure.

God Bless you and the family!!

Stress is bad for the baby at 10 weeks. Keep her calm and relaxed and be sure to thank god everyone is ok. Nothing more important than family. Material stuff is an illusion for happiness.
