Drivers beware

A snowstorm has hit. It started yesterday at about 11:00. It has now gone afternoon yesterday, all last night and all day today.
I had to work this morning so I got myself ready, threw on my hoodie, sweetshirt, jeans and snowboots. I kiss my boys goodbye and tell them I will be safe and Off I head into the slushy icy mess that surrounds out town.
I was getting on the highway and the roads really didn't seem too terribly bad. I was listening to the morning show guys talking away. I decided to turn my radio off and say my daily prayers. Every day when I drive to work, I use that quiet alone time to talk to God. Its easy to do it every day and its my special alone time. So I started my daily talk with God, thanking him for everything and everyone in my life. I prayed for my son, thanking God for him.

(I'm on a 4 lane highway with off ramps so every once in a while there are 5 lanes for a moment).

Meanwhile:
There is a big old Ford truck, with huge mud tires on it and the truck is raised. The truck is speeding REALLY fast up behind me in the lane to my left. In the lane to my right side is a small green car. I was looking at the green car wondering if it was this guy Kieth that I work with.
Kieth is a sweet guy close to the age of 60 years old. He is always giving me little prayer cards and asking how my little boy is. He is a grandfather and his grandkids come in all the time to see him. He is so sweet and kind and a truly good person.
Anyways, I see this green car that looks like Kieth's. I can't see yet if its him because I'm not quite up to his window yet to look in and see.
Suddenly I notice the ford truck speeding up beside me going VERY VERY fast. He losses control and spins sideways and is now sideways right in front of me. I SCREAMED OUT LOUD as this big truck is almost being t-boned by my car (I didn't hit him yet). I slammed on my breaks to avoid from t-ing this truck. Then suddenly he slides again turning to where he is head on right in front of the little green Kieth car. He slams front to front into the green car, causing the front of the car to crumble and shoot towards the driver, both cars went spiraling off the road. I couldn't tell if the truck flipped or not but it looked like he did. I was shaking but had barely avoided being completely caught up in this horrible wreck. I reached for my phone and called 911 as fast as I could. The operator asked me what was going on. I told her where I was that the accident looked bad and that I was sliding and was too far ahead of it now and couldn't tell if they were ok.
The operator asked me if anyone was hurt??? I didn't know, I told her I wasn't there I just saw it, But it looked like it was really bad, the truck was going like 80 mph and the other car 45-50mph (was almost in it). She says to me "We are on operation slick streets and unless you are positive someone was injured, we can't send anyone to help". OH NO! I feel terrible because I can't get them to help and I'm so afraid that someone was hurt. But when we are under "operation slick streets" the rule is that the police and ambulances aren't dispatched unless there is a confirmed injury. There are just so many accidents. They can't keep up with them all.

I started crying and pulled over and called my boss at work. I asked him if Kieth (my co-worker) was there yet, he said no and asked why, he wanted to know if I was ok?. I told him I was fine and explained what happened and he tried to assure me that my co-worker didn't come to work on that highway. So I headed to onto work. I couldn't go back. I pull into work and go inside (still crying by the way). I was so shook up I couldn't stop. My boss rushed to door and he hugged me and was like "are you sure your ok".
Kieth didn't arrive to work until about 15 minutes later and until he got there I was so worried that for whatever reason it was him on that highway.
My boss Greg saw Kieth pulling in and ran out to tell him what had happened. I wasn't crying anymore and had pulled myself together. Kieth comes in and he comes into my office with this sweet smile and I freaking start crying again. He hugged me and was like "that is SOOO sweet of you to care so much and worry about me" I was like "I thought it was you, I was so worried and I couldn't turn around to help you and the 911 officer wouldn't send someone". He was so sweet and called me his little special angel. It was nice.
Needless to say, we are hear at work safe and sound. A little upset and worked up but fine.
The reason I posted this is because its really upsetting to me how many people out there thing that because there car is bigger than most or has four wheel drive they are invincible. They AREN'T. They put all of us on the roads at risk because of their careless driving. It really upset me. I'm so glad my Cooper wasn't with me when this happened.

To all of you ladies who are out in bad weather or your families are be careful and really watch the people around you as well.
