Samantha was at work and called Kylee to come and pick her
up. Kylee did and they stopped by the gas station to fill up
and headed home. They were on Canyon waiting for two cars
to pass so that Kylee could make a left hand turn. I lady who
was "distracted" hit them from behind going over 50 mph.
The call I got from Kylee was horrifying as she was crying and
screaming to Samantha to see if she was okay. The crash pushed
them clear on the other side of traffic. Very lucky that there
were not cars coming the opposite direction. Luckily
it was just a few streets from the house but I could barely
understand Kylee as to where exactly they were. It
made my sick not knowing exactly how bad it was until I got
there. They were hit so hard that when I got there their seats
were fully reclined back from the force of the hit. They
were both okay. Samantha did have a bump on her head
just above her left eye and her nose was bruised and
crooked. Seatbelts saved them worse trauma.
Sad that you cannot protect your children all of the time
even tough we want to. We have to just teach them the best
that we can and then turn them over to the world.
Luckily Kylee was a good driver and able to stop
the skid appropriately. Love my girls!
