He’s probably lucky it was standard tractor trailers.

Had they been lowboy trailers they would have crushed the whole body of the truck in on him leaving him with massive injuries.

A few people were also commenting that one of the trailers was owned by Covenant Transport.

The article says he prayed as he saw the other rig coming right for him. It sure seems like God answered his prayer with a resounding yes!

.” Whitby told The Oregonian. “Thank God that I’m still alive. Now I’ve got to go figure out why.”

I thought Fox and Friends was going to have him on this morning but I didn’t see it before I went off to work.

"He’s probably lucky it was standard tractor trailers."

He's probably lucky he didn't hit the snooze one more time this morning...
He's probably lucky he had to stop for that school bus a few miles back...
He's probably lucky that black ice wasn't a mile further up on the turn...
He's probably lucky he wasn't driving a Yugo...

He's definitely probably lucky... :-)

"Thank God that I'm still alive. Now I've got to go figure out why."

He's on the right track. Use your power for good, not evil, young man.

I’ve been on black ice on that road. It’s one of the most treacherous roads I know in the winter, frankly.

After 30 minutes of being trapped inside, Whitby was freed and managed to walk away with just a bruise and a few scratches . . . Whitby says he helped other drivers involved in the 26 car pileup before heading home to his pregnant wife and their 2-year-old son.

Sounds like he is off to a great start. I'm sure someone had to give him a lift home as his vehicle most likely made a one-way trip to the scrap metal yard.

Wow!

At least we know who the passenger was along with him in his truck - God!

Prayer works. I have seen it work in my own life although not quite this dramatically but almost.
