    rock,


    Good to hear you came out okay.

    My prayers go to the infant and its parents.

    I want to thank everyone for their prayers. I still haven't been able to get information about the infant. The family speaks only Spanish and I don't know any. I think I may call one of my bilingual friends and call the family on three-way.

    Although it was no fault of my own, I need to know if the infant survived. It will be one of those questions that eats me alive if I don't find out.

    FranchiseCat, my accident happened around noon at the intersection of Beltway 8 and Veterans Memorial.

    I appreciate everyone's kind words.

    I have been thinking about that today. If I drove a car, I bet it would have flipped over or at least spun around. I just bought the truck in May and I felt really safe until I saw the news report that my vehicle (f150) had a very low crash test rating. Luckily my collision wasn't head on.

    Still, I think that I couldn't find the courage to drive a car after what happened. I think that in the future, I am going to drive a truck with a big lift so if anything comes near to crashing into me, it will just drive underneath.

    This may not be any of my business, but why dont you go down to the hospital where the baby is to see how he/she is doing?I understand that it wasnt your fault, but you'd probably feel better if you went down there yourself and see how the baby is doing.

    Rock-

    Im glad you're okay. Ive had family members and good friends seriously infured, and in one case, killed, due to car accidents. I am grateful you made it out ok.

    On a side note, i dont think buying bigger and bigger vehicles solves anything.

    Good your OK, but accidents do happen to the best of us and sometimes we just can't explain why or why not something happens. I feel very sorry hearing this tragic news.

    Good to see you're okay. This sounds a lot like an accident my dad had a year back, where someone hit the side of his truck in much the same manner as yours. Luckily, he also got by without any serious injuries.

    Hope everything turns out ok.

    Glad you are ok.

    I bet this really makes you change the way you think about life since you have seen how quickly it can end.

    It just wasn't your time to go man.

    God I hope the baby is ok. Irresponsible parents are the worst people in the world. :(
