[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1417960, member: 14661"] About eight hours after the point in time when I began to consider myself born again I was driving through New Mexico with a loaded stock trailer on on the 40. I was in a spot where the opposite lanes of traffic are at a higher elevation than the lanes I was in. It was dusk and I saw a sudden flash of light. It turned out to be a car travelling at a high rate of speed in the opposite direction that had blown a tire, clipped a big rig, and was now turned perpendicular to traffic and crossing all four lanes. I hit the brakes when I saw the light flash. The big rig in the lane next to me had been a little ahead of me and moving faster. That car crossed the highway close enough in front of me that I can remember the look I saw on the passengers face as they passed in front of me and they were airborne when they did it so she was eye level to me. They missed my front end by a foot or less and the back bumper of the truck next to me by a foot or so and landed on the other side of the highway. The driver behind me was not paying attention. He locked his brakes and fishtailed in between me and another big rig and got within inches of me and wound up sideways as I was still coming to a stop. I came so close to T-boning him hat he couldn't open his door. The lead truck and I both stopped to render aid but other than a blown tire and some suspension damage everyone walked away with no injury. I guess you could make an arguement for luck if you are inclined but on that day I KNEW the Truth and I'll never be convinced that it was anything less than that. [/QUOTE]
