Thankful God kept his angels over our Pastor. I’m sure after many miles of pulling this he knew what he was doing…(truck driver) there is such a thing called accidents! God you have been good! Thankful for keeping him alive because it could have been the other way around!

The man that walked up to this accident asked the man inside, ” are you a preacher? ” He said , “yes”. The man said, ” I knew it, ,there must have been angels in that truck with you. You should be dead.” We’re very thankful that other than an injured hand Rev. Steven Pinell is going to be alright.

I am glad everyone is ok. As a retired truckdriver, I have seen many accidents like this across the USA. People do not understand that you CANNOT pull these trailers down the road at 70 miles per hour. You have sway bars yes but they only do so much. I used to hate to pass one or have them pass me. People that do not know how to maintain one when being passed or passing can get you and them hurt if not killed. I think that before you can pull or drive one off the lot you MUST pass a drivers course with the local DMV. You have to have a liesnse to drive a motorcycle, a 18 wheeler, and a boat. Why is that people can just pull off the lot with no experience what so ever?

I am so glad they are okay. I know first hand how scary what they encountered was as the same thing almost happened to our family several years ago on the same interstate. We were first time campers and we didn’t know that it is imperative to have 2 trailer hitch sway bars attached to your camper to prevent swaying, we only had one AND never put anything heavy on the back end of a trailer. Each time a semi would fly by us, our camper was all over the interstate. At one point, a semi drove past us at a high rate of speed and my husband started to loose control our our rig and was trying to slow down to a stop over in the emergency lane which was coming to an end, bridge and drop off straight ahead. I truly didn’t think we were gonna make it and I started praying and telling my family how much I loved them, I thought it was over. Between my husband’s determination to get it under control and the Lord’s help, we stopped right at the end of the the lane at the drop off. As soon as we got to the next town, the first stop was the camper store where we bought another sway bar and put the generator inside the camper. This story sure brought back those memories for me!
