To all,

My daughter just called (10:14am ct) requesting prayers for all involved in an accident that two of their drivers just had this morning. The drivers were both in the same truck (assume large Dump truck) towing a trailer. Lost control of the trailer and crossed over into incoming traffic, hitting a small pickup truck head on.

The condition of the driver of the pickup truck is unknown at this time, but is most likely very severely injured or dead. The two drivers of the large truck, both in the hospital, the condition of one driver is unknown at this time, but the other has broken collar bone and his liver is bleeding.

Please pray for all involved, and all of their families.

Just thought that I would update you on the condition of our drivers. The driver is fine just shook up, they will keep him overnite for observation. The passenger was thrown from the truck, wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and has a broken collarbone and bleeding liver--the liver has slowed down bleeding and hopefully will stop on its own so surgery will not be needed. He also will be kept for observation. Thanks for the many prayers that were sent for their recovery.

The car that they hit was driven by an elderly couple, thankfully they were not seriously hurt. He suffered bruises and she, the driver, suffered a broken arm and foot. Please add them to the prayer list as they are in their 80's and 90's and will be slow to heal.

2-2-06 Update Urgent Prayer Request about truck hitting head on to a car on 1-30-06


From my daughter:

Wanted to give you an update on our men, they were in a pickup truck towing a trailer when the trailer started swaying and they lost control and went into the other lane and hit a small car.

The driver is still in the hospital in a room, at 2 pm he started running a fever of 102.

The passenger is still in ICU, he was given 3 bloodclotting treatments Monday to stop the bleeding and it has worked, his liver has stopped bleeding, his kidneys have started working again (they had shut down for a few days) but as of this am his collarbone had popped back out of place and spiked his BP so they are keeping him in ICU.

The occupants of the other car, the gentleman is out of the hospital but the woman is in ICU in the other hospital.
Please continue prayers for all of these people. The driver of our pickup is taking classes so that he can be ordained in 4 years.
