Guardian Angels

Kyle escaped tragedy this last Saturday after he was involved in a rollover accident while driving some scouts home from a weekend snowshoeing trip in Pine Valley. The scouts and Kyle were headed off the mountain when an ice storm hit. The roads were quickly covered with a layer of ice and as they rounded a sharp corner Kyle's truck began to slide. He tried to manuever out of it but the back end of the truck caught the edge of the shoulder and sent the truck over an embankment where it tipped onto its top and slid to the bottom, dozing boulders as it slid. When it stopped, one scout had been ejected and was suffering a broken arm. Kyle kicked out a window and climbed out to attend to him while the other uninjured scout climbed up to the roadway to flag down help. Kyle ended up with a few bumps and bruises, a sore shoulder, back, and neck, BUT after seeing the pictures of the mangled truck and driving to see the accident scene today, its easy to see that things could have been MUCH MUCH worse. The scout that was injured had surgery to repair his arm and is recovering. We are so thankful that guardian angels were there to protect Kyle and the scouts from worse and our prayers this week are dedicated to the scout that was involved and his family! We are waiting now to hear whether the truck will be totalled, but its pretty apparant it will. Here are a few pictures.
