In May of 1970 I was in a car accident due to an insulin reaction. I believe the car was going very fast because it rolled onto its left side and slid along the burrow pit for about 100 feet and then flipped end over end twice not touching the barbed wire fence. It then rolled three times before coming to a stop on its flat tires. The police estimated it to be about 120 MPH.
I was unconscious for three days before coming to. The only thing that saved me was a blessing from my Heavenly Father as a friend of mine was riding with me and even though the roof of the car was sitting on the top of the seat on his side he was able to get out and summon an ambulance. The glass of the drivers side window was the only piece of glass that was not shattered and that is were my head lay while the car was sliding along the ground of the burrow pit.
One final piece of evidence that I was blessed was that about three months later another guy did the exact same thing at the same place (same flips and same rolls) and was killed instantly. So I know that my children and my grandchildren were meant to have Diana and I as your parents and grandparents, etc. etc. And then I went on a mission in March of 1971 and that is where I met Diana.
That's amazing, to think how blessed you were to make it out of there alive, and that your friend was able to survive the crash as well.
