Lucky To Be Alive

It always surprises me how people can survive such horrific accidents. The other day I responded to a vehicle rollover on the Midway which left the vehicle fully engulfed in fire. It was an accident that sounded as bad as it looked. Papers were all over the ground and the vehicle was completely burned up. I couldn't even imagine what the actually accident event would have looked like. I was sure there would be a major injury to the driver. But only minor injuries with scrapes, bruises and complaint of pain. I am amazed and glad that there aren't any serious injuries. From the accidents I get to see, they're lucky to be alive.
