...a block from work on his way home. An Ambulance heading to a school bus accident outside of town t-boned brent while he was driving through a green light. He was downtown and the buildings are right up to the corners of the street so Brent didn't hear any sirens at all. The ambulance was going fast enough to do this to his car and then hit another car (that driver was sent to the hospital as well) that hit into yet another car.
They had to cut him out of the car and cut his clothes off. It was a really frightening experience to get a call that I needed to head to the ER immediately because Brent was involved in an accident. I had just finished feeding the sister missionaries and just thought that Brent had to work late. The drive to the hospital and then going into the room where he was waiting test results really tested my ability to keep calm and not loose it. No one told me anything, and when I entered the room, Brent was lying on a gurney with blankets covering him in a neck brace with blood oozing out underneath and out onto the pillow underneath.
We were very lucky in that his injuries could have been so much more severe. He did sustain a concussion that hopefully won't result in any permanent damage and a four inch gash on the back of his head. This Thanksgiving, I certainly am so thankful for the blessing of protection that Brent recieved that night.
R.I.P.
1997 Purple Honda Accord
We will miss you Honda with your champ of a heater and recently purchased new transmission. We had some good times with you: dating and getting married while in Logan, our only vehicle in SLC, and more recently, Brent's companion to an actual paying job everyday in Minnesota.
