Holly and Reid were in a car (truck) accident....

[Xplantdad]

Reid was driving my truck...and misjudged the speed of an oncoming car. We got the call that <span style="font-weight: bold">no one wants to get</span>...that they had been in an accident and that the police and fire departments were there.

Both are being checked out at the hospital near the house...

Reid seems to be okay and Holly has some arm, shoulder and belly area pain. They are doing tests now to make sure that they both are okay...I am just glad that they weren't hit in the door area...

I drove the truck home...and it will go in for repairs once the insurance crap is sorted out.

[mockingbird812]

Thank God it wasn't worse. Keep us posted Bruce. I can only imagine how you must feel!

[SS427]

Thank God they are ok. The truck can be fixed. You should know since it has been fixed once already.

[Xplantdad]

Yep...who cares about the truck...I want to make sure that they are okay. I haven't heard anything lately from Lynn <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif

[Postsedan]

Oh Boy! Thank God there ok....Reid must feel terrible <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif

It will all pass.

Dan

[Xplantdad]

It will Dan....Thanks for the call!

[Xplantdad]

Okay, They are waiting on the results of the x-rays for Holly...and for the doctor.

I am proud of Holly...that she was able to calmly tell the paramedics about her medical status and medical history...They already had everything sorted out by the time we got there...

[Xplantdad]

On their way home....no broken bones...just going to be sore....both of them!

[PxTx]

Good news! Cheers to you Bruce for being Dad and car enthusiast with a cool head. Sounds like your apple didn't fall far.

[firez]

Glad too hear everyone is OK. I go to a lot of accidents with my work and I always tell parents who arrive on scene to see their cars smashed up that they make cars everyday but great children like yours are hard to come by.

[Xplantdad]

Thanks to both of you Pauls...

[TDW]

Whew, glad to hear they are OK. Man, what a terrible call that is to get.

[Xplantdad]

Thanks Tony...They are sore...but okay!

[427.060]

Bruce, I'm glad they are both ok.
James

[Xplantdad]

Thanks James....here are a few more pics

[69 Post Sedan]

That's the last thing anyone wants to get for a phone call. Glad to hear that they are both alright Bruce.

Kurt

[Xplantdad]

Thanks Kurt...I am relieved as well!

[old5.0]

I can't imagine getting that phone call. I'm very glad to hear that everyone's okay.

[ss427copo]

Glad SuperWomen and her beau is okay......

[Xplantdad]

Thanks Olds 5.0....and Jeff, thanks bud!

[bergy]

I bet they're sore this morning! Give um hugs (not too hard though). Glad to hear that they are OK.

[elonblock]

Glad to hear everyone is ok.

Glad to hear that everyone is OK! You can replace material things, not humans!BBBenny <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/HollyRocks.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/BruceRocks.gif

Holy Crap! Glad they are OK. What a scary night!

Glenn...LOL! I can count on you guys to make me laugh!


They are sore today....but sore beats being injured badly... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif


Thanks all... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif

[92646]

Bruce, I just signed on right now and saw this. I am glad they are ok. No matter how old your children are, you never stop being a parent. Is this the same truck that you got hit in? Maybe it is time to sell it?
Mark Sheppard

[scuncio]

Glad to hear both are ok!

[Plowman]

Glad to here that everyone is OK. *Paul*

[Xplantdad]

Mark,

Yes it is...It wouldn't even be worth selling...LOL

Who'd buy a truck that's been hit twice? I will drive it into the ground.

[Canuck]

Glad to hear the &quot;kids&quot; are ok. Do you have a picture of the truck from the first accident. Post it for comparison. When you try it repaired get a bullseye painted on that side!

Paul

[enio45]

Bruce, glad it all resulted in a few bumps and brusies.

Give them my best for a speedy recovery - and you too!

[Xplantdad]

Paul...I will have to look for pics of it from the first accident....LOL

Eddie, consider it done!


Look familiar? This is from 1/15/2012...

sorry to hear about the accident ... glad all are ok

[Xplantdad]

Jim...same truck...same side. I was driving in the accident of 2009...my daughters boyfriend was driving the truck in the accident that happened yesterday...

[al8apex]

a friends wife had 3 accidents with her 77 Camaro, all in the same place on the car (drivers side front wheel) they finally sold the car - no accidents ever since ... :-)

[CC Rider]

We buffed it out today. All is well. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

Chris, yep, I like the aluminum wheels better <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[ibuyncr]

From the rear - the old accident photos look like you have rear-steer Bruce! LOL.
Hang in there. See you all at Greg's wedding in Vegas.

[Xplantdad]

Gary,

That's what Rob said as well! LOL

See you on Friday. Travel safe.... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Hey Bruce! What a weekend...Yikes!

Glad to hear everyone is a-ok.


Wayne

[Xplantdad]

Wayne...you're right. I don't want another one like this for awhile!

[downunder1]

Thankfully they are both okay.

Best wishes,
John

[Xplantdad]

Well...our own Galveston (Shaun Price) came and got my truck to repair it and it's back home....better than new! Shaun rocks....and the workmanship is outstanding <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

(The kids are healed up as well...though I can't say as much for the wife <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif a whole DIFFERENT story...)

Thanks again Shaun...you're the best!

[CC Rider]

Shaun rocks!

[mockingbird812]

Looking real nice Bruce!

[thumper94]

Wow glad everyone is ok! Nice repair on it also . Hard to belive it got hit in the same place twice and looks that good still.

[SS427]

Nice job Shaun. Real friends show themselves in a time of need. Bruce, maybe you should paint that quarter panel blaze orange this time around.....

[Xplantdad]

Rick, you're right! (On both counts). Maybe I'll have Shaun put some flames on the back <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[bbbenny]

They need to stay away from the places, where accidents happen? Glad no one was really hurt! BBBenny<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[Xplantdad]

True, Benny...true!

[HAD 5 NEW]

if that was a ford it would have been totaled

[Xplantdad]

Thanks Had....long time-no see! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[enio45]

Shaun does some AMAZING work!

[427425]

Guess I better start checking the site more often !! Glad the kids are OK, say hi to them for me, too hot for many Pavilions runs for a while anyway.

[Xplantdad]

Will do Kevin <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[SSJunkie68-69]

Bruce, been awhile since I checked things out. Glad to hear the kids are all right...kinda like the WHO song. Myself, I had a incident with a deer a couple weeks back while driving a 69 Z. I had to swerve to avoid it and wound up 25 yards in the woods. Missed some 4' diameter trees by inches but was still banged up and just getting back. Deers and hospitals suck but I'm here and back on the mend. Many of the first responders told me someone was looking after me. Those folks were great and I sincerely thank them for there efforts. I got a chance to look at the impact zone a couple of days ago and saw that a few inches to the left or right would of been very bad....terminally bad. Those folks do a great job and I am very grateful. As for the deer, decorum won't let me post my true thoughts but they are not pretty. Before anybody asks, there is one less 69 Z on the road....it was totalled and off to the crusher <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cry.gif

[Xplantdad]

Wow Tom...I am glad that you are okay!

There were too many 69 Z's anyways <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[SSJunkie68-69]

Tks Bruce....it was not a good experience, once my wife and kids saw me, the car and scene I can tell you all, many prayers were were answered....a few busted ribs, one wrist, a nose with racoon eyes and a messed up spleen....i'm so happy to be here posting today. Hindsight is always 20/20....but maybe I should of taken out the deer!

[PeteLeathersac]

Sorry about the car Tom but great you're Ok and on the mend!
I've hit too many deer and other animals over the years and it's very hard in the moment to make any decisions but often better to hit the poor creatures than swerve.
