Car Accident

Notice the lug nuts are still attached
This is the indention that the semi tire made in Bill's car. Right near the gas tank.
Here you can see the tire just ripped off the car but not blown.
If you look close you can see a white line in between the windows. That is where the bottom of the trucks trailer hit Bill's car as he was pushed against it.

Bill was in a car accident on the way home from Utah on Conference Weekend. He was about 10 minutes outside of Pocatello heading north on I-15. While passing a semi-truck his right front tire broke off of the axel and slammed into the semi, almost throwing him underneath it. At the last minute the semi's tire smacked into the back of his car and pushed him back out. The Highway Patrol and the witnesses say they have no idea how he survived becuase of how he was thrown against the semi. Bill was very shaken up throughout the day on that Sunday and the Monday after. He knows that he was protected by Heavenly Father and feels very humbled that he was saved. I am grateful that the Lord watches over us and protects us.
