A VERY Close Call


On the snow day that wasn't a Snow Day for the school kids, Nathan and Steve were driving very carefully to school. Steve was a bus driver so I am pretty confident in his driving (even on icy days). They were traveling very slowly on a very icy overpass when some high school kids tried to pass Steve and attempted to cut him off. On their way around Steve, however, they hit an icy patch and flew out of control spinning wildly in front of Steve's car as he frantically tried not to hit the twirling kids. The high school kids ended up facing Steve (and oncoming traffic) about a quarter of an inch away from rail, while Steve slid past them and onto dry road. God was watching out for both Steve and Nathan and the high school kids. As Steve drove down to safety, he watched the two, newly cautious kids, turn slowly around and off the bridge to school. I am sooooooo very thankful that no one got hurt. Afterwards, Steve witnessed about three wrecks on the half mile stretch of highway leading to his school. School should definitely been cancelled that day.
