Thank you for protecting my brother Vitaly and my sister Marina in their terrible car wreck yesterday.Love, Beth
Marina lost control of her car after a icy curve (Dec. 23), veered across the road, into a tree (the large one in the picture below) and flipped at least one time.
They got out of their seatbelts, put down the back passenger's side window (the only one that worked) and crawled out of the window (you can sorta see it in the very top picture).
A woman who lived nearby came in her SUV and had the kids sit in her car to get warm (it was about 12 degrees outside) while Dad, Nick and I came to get them. We didn't know it was as bad as it was.
The wreck happened in an very rural Amish community, so we had many people stop by to help and almost everyone that drove by stopped to see if they could do anything. I LOVE small towns for this very reason.
The state police (the road is under state jurisdiction, so the local police won't cover the area) took an hour to get there, which I was less than thrilled about, but he was very nice. They brought a flat bed tow truck and took the car away. It was, of course, totaled.Both Marina and Vitaly were very shook up, but only had minor bruises. Thank God.

good night...thank God indeed. i'm so glad they are ok. what a thing to be thankful for at Christmas!!
Amen to the above! I'm so glad everyone is okay.
Praise God! I'm so thankful that they're okay. What a scary time that could've ended so much worse. Thank you, Lord!
What a blessing that they both only had minor injuries! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas in spite of it all!
Look how the roof of the car fits so perfectly in that ditch. I'm reminded of an accident a few years ago that didn't end as happily for my family. My cousin was killed in a car accident in which, as her father said after seeing the site, it was like a lane opened for them so they would hit the only tree that would've caused a fatality. Sometimes He guides us to safety here, sometimes He guides us to eternal safety. Either way, He clearly knows what He's doing.
I'm glad for your additional reasons for rejoicing this Christmas!
Oh my. What striking photos. I'm so sorry for the anguish this must have caused for you, your family, and especially your siblings. I too was struck by how the car fit into the ditch without so much damage to the interior. Praise God.
