Jiffy's daughter, Kate, was in a very serious auto accident this morning. (Her third in six months, second in two weeks) Her car flipped a couple times and ended upside down in a ditch. The car was destroyed, but Kate somehow managed to get out under her own power and was standing up talking to the police when Jiffy arrived. She was taken to a trauma center, but appears to have no life threatening or long term injuries.
Please keep praying for her! angell
Jiffy will let you all know more when she gets home, but she wanted me to let you know the current status....

Thank you all kissies for the prayers, they were answered.

first the update. the car is a total loss, you'll understand when i post the pics next.

second, yes, thank God she was wearing her seat belt. she has major seat belt burn on her left shoulder/neck, and some cuts/scratches where her cross got caught underneath the seat belt, but the seat belt saved her life.

she also has the bruising/flash burns from the airbag deployment, but that too was a Godsend as it kept the steering column where it should be.

the final injuries are a very bruised nose (she will have black eyes, but the nose isn't broken), some rub burns (we don't know from what) on her arms, a sprained/bruised ankle, and misc. cuts and scratches nearly every where.

the wreck was witnessed by several people on their way to church, and after they called me and 911, they gathered in a circle around her and prayed. she went to school with one of the ems team members, and the first responder from the VFD was the parent of 2 of her friends from school.

ok, i'm ending this book so you can read while i post the pics.

this first picture is of the tree she hit with the right front of the car. the impact caused her car to flip in such a way that it was upside down in the ditch, and facing the way she came from. six more feet of movement would have caused the car to rest with the driver's side upside down in a creek.

this is the front quarter of the car that hit the tree, after they had flipped the car right side up.

this shows the tree and the car, pretty much where it came to rest after they righted it. it is maybe 2 or 3 feet closer to the tree than it was before they righted it.

these two are random pics of the car. the tire in the trunk is from the right front of the car. if you know about cars, it tore the inner & outer tie rods and what i think is called the torsion bar (the part that stablizes and attaches the tie rods to the frame) from the car along with the wheel.

we were very blessed. she lived and even walked away, and tested clean and sober (i knew she would, but it is always nice to know that for a fact).

thank you all again for the prayers.

Jiffy she sure had some Angles riding with her. I am surprised she lived through this let alone walked away from it with bruises. Thank God she is ok. Still prayers are going out for all of you.

Jiffy, Thanks be to God that Kate is OK! Surely He was in charge. It's the only explanation that she could possibly walk away from that car. You all will be in my prayers. kissies Sue
