We've had some pretty snowy/icy weather around here lately causing slippery road conditions. Last Wednesday, some colleagues and I were headed west to London along the 401 in a Region F150 pick up truck. We were in the far right lane when our truck hit a patch of ice throwing us into a major tailspin that took us across all 3 lanes of traffic while our truck spun around so that when we finally came to a crashing stop alongside the cement median, we were facing oncoming traffic! It was a TERRIFYING experience but miraculously, no other vehicles hit us and none of us were seriously injured! The back window of the truck smashed in when we made contact with the median spraying glass onto my 2 co-workers sitting in the backseat, but we we all fine. I am feeling VERY appreciative of my life, my family and my friends these days! Drive safe, you never know when life could change forever.

See... That's why you should NEVER leave the house without a camera!
Were you driving? It sure is a scary situation, to be out of control and heading in the wrong direction. Been there, done that. Glad no one was hurt. Take care and appreciate each day as it comes.
