People rush to assist after traffic accident
I would like to thank all the people who sprang to action after my family was involved in an automobile accident at the intersection of High Point Road and I-40 exit/Pinecroft Road Sept. 16.
While crossing the intersection in our van, we were hit by a man who ran the red light. Our van was rolled onto its roof. Within seconds, I heard lots of people running to our aid. Thanks to the lady with a tattoo on her ankle because that's all I could see while I was hanging in my seat belt. Thanks to the man with the blond hair and blue-striped shirt. Your adrenaline must have been pumping, but you got us out. Thanks to Rebecca, who offered medical help. Thanks to the taxi driver and Jose the real-estate agent, who wanted to make sure we knew they were witnesses. Thanks to Pastor Sarah from Glenwood Methodist, who was an angel in our midst. She stayed the entire time, offering a listening ear and a hug.
That night, the greatness of humanity was revealed to me by ordinary people. Thank you to the others I might have missed; I am grateful for your compassion.

Hello,
Thank God you guys are doing well. My husband and I were just thinking about you all and praying for your recovery. We didn't see the entire accident but were alarmed to see your van overturned. We also got out of the car and ran to your aid, contacted the rescue teams and prayed for all of you. There are always angels in the midst to protect us.
Blessings!!!

Oh, thank God you guys are okay!!! My husband and I were just thinking about your incident this past weekend. We were taking my mother-in-law to the Olive Garden and came upon your accident and immediately jumped out the car to do whatever we could. I called the rescue units to aid you all. I hope that your recoveries are going well.
There were some individuals we saw that blew the horn and made obscene gestures trying to get through. We have to pray for those people. But it is good to know that there are some good samaritans left in this world. It's good to know you guys are doing well.
Blessings

Good to see good things.
In case you are thinking about going to get your accident report, don't bother.
Cobb Chiropractic will usually mail you one for free as a form of advertisement.
And if they don't, I'm sure Crumley and Associates would be glad to help.
