“Two days ago, my boss’s sister was on her way to work on the very same route that I take. She was at a dead stop in traffic.

She looked in her rear-view mirror and saw a car coming full speed behind her…

She braced herself and when she came to, they were using the jaws of life to get her out of the car.

It does not look like the person in this car lived.

She was extremely lucky and only ‘walked’ away with a shattered wrist, staples in her head, and A LOT of bumps and bruises.

They later found out that the driver was doing 70 mph and was texting. When he finally looked up from his phone it was too late and was unable to even step on his brakes.

I was just going to send this to both of my daughters but thought I should share with everyone. I’m sure the message is clear here.”
