You are quite welcome, my FRiend.
It's a pleasure as always.
Not Madison Heights, but Hazel Park or, as we call it locally, Hazeltucky.
Sorry I couldn’t find a blog, but here’s a direct link to the FR thread.

Dude, they'll fire you!
That isn't allowed! It's "whole shorts" or yer OUT!
I admire your moxy.
You won't get any hits for that.
FAIL.
The idiot in the car that caused the accident needs to have HIS license taken away....May have been texting.
IDIOT.
Thank GOD no one was seriously injured!
“Thats the way it looks to me, at about :17, the car is actually moving towards the right lane,”
Take a look at the truck trailer in that frame. Doesn’t the trailer look like it is exiting the far right lane?
I’m thinking the truck was behind the car and whipped around the car and that freaked out the driver of the car. The truck may have kissed the car’s bumper to start the chain of events.
“Thats the way it looks to me, at about :17, the car is actually moving towards the right lane, then cuts back into the corner of the right front fender of the truck, not too dissimilar to a classic ‘PIT’ maneuver used by the police to stop fleeing vehicles.”
Why is the truck trailer exiting the right lane in that frame?
UK police hope gruesome video depicting car accident will change minds about texting and driving
At least 2 unbelievably close calls for the cars on the other side of the freeway. The first is the black SUV that looks like it literally goes under the truck. Couldnt have missed it by more than a coat of paint. The second is the car that slides by hard to the right barrier as the truck nears the end of its slide. Simply amazing that no one on the other side wasnt mashed. Nice driving Tex’s.
How was your drive today honey? Oh, an 18 wheeler flew across the median into my lane and I passed underneath it. THAT would wake you up!
(Hey, thanks for the alert, Humblegunner, to let me know Larry's resorting now to gossipping 'bout me on even taglines...minus a ping...come on, Larry, you've been dotting paperwork protocols for years...the least you could do is exercise FReeper protocol & let me in "on the know" that I've reached the pinnacle of your taglines :) )
Glad you mentioned me...just askin' for the ping...
And particularly glad you did on this thread...as I just posted the following on Wednesday...and since it also involved an 18-wheeler crashing, 'tis perfect time to re-share:
And this is on the up & up (if you know what I mean by "up"):
A pastor is touring the country right now. A Baptist pastor. He's going around the country speaking right now about a car accident he had 21 years ago...11:45 a.m., Jan. 18, 1989...if the angelic archives are correct...(and they always are...genealogists would just love them!)...anyway, I digress.
This pastor was dead in that car of his. For 1.5 hours and seconds beyond that. One side of an 18-wheeler completely rolled over him and his car...Government tax dollars at work...as a prison allowed an inmate to drive the 18-wheeler to do a food pick-up...the inmate got going too fast, swerved to avoid bumping into a car in front of him on an old bridge built during Roosevelt work project days in East Texas.
Well, he "head-on'd" this poor pastor, smacked the car he was trying to avoid and came to rest hitting yet a third vehicle. (What a scene that was!)
Nobody was significantly hurt. Except the pastor. His left forearm was severed when he raised it up to protect his face/head & was hurled into the backseat. One leg had 30 holes in it. Four inches of his femur (thigh) bone was smashed & left the vehicle, never to be found.
The prayers came "up" above fairly quickly. From all over. The authorities called this pastor's church (they just didn't tell them he was "dead.") This pastor's church got out the local Houston phonebook and called every church they could, asking for prayer. They then started calling beyond Houston, asking them to pray.
And then the Lord sent a personal intercessor to this pastor. Yet another pastor, coming from the same pastor's conference and stuck in the bridge traffic behind him, came on the scene well after the accident, and asked a police officer if he could pray.
The officer told him, "No," everybody was fine...well, "fine" -- except for the guy in that one vehicle...and well, nothing could be done for him. But this other pastor insisted the Lord was directing him to pray for a victim. He persisted. The police officer told him, "No, you don't understand the driver is dismembered." This other pastor told him, "Well, it can't beat anything I saw in VietNam as a medic there." The police officer finally relented.
The only way to get into the vehicle was from the rear. The pastor was covered with a sheet. Since it was rural Texas, they'd only been waiting for the coroner to arrive to pronounce him dead, so they could remove the body. The only apparent non-injured part of this driver was his right shoulder, so the pastor touched him there as he prayed for him. So the other pastor commenced praying for the victim, and alternated that with singing hymns.
Well, the solo hymn-singing then turned into a duet. The victim began singing with him.
Now, I need to re-emphasize, this pastor had been dead 1.5 hours. The paramedics had already tried to do everything for him, and had long since given up.
In fact, the other pastor, upon hearing the accompaniment from the guy in the front seat, had trouble convincing the police officer that the victim was alive.
Well, it took them a while to extract the victim. (I mean the way you remove a live victim 'tis a bit distinct than a dead one). They took him to a local clinic. No help there. His injuries were too severe. They took him to the closest rural hospital. They did triage, but couldn't address his major needs. They would have flown him in a flight-for-life 'copter 'cept it was pourin' hard down from "above" that day.
So two ambulance paramedics drove him down the clogged Houston-bound highways and freeways...80 miles...not delivering him til 6:15 p.m.
He remained in a hospital 13 months. He's had 34 major surgeries. He was told he would never walk again. (He walks). He was told he would never have use of his left arm/left hand. (He now uses it...'twas reattached and they pulled parts from what was left of his healthy part to do the surgeries for that).
And as he goes around and speaks, he tells what it was like to be outside the gates of heaven moving toward the inner gate of heaven...a place he didn't reach...as he was "called back" to earth.
But if you talk to him, or listen to his testimony, he'll tell you what he saw and heard. And one of those things he heard was the rush created by flapping wings above him. I'm "told," that coupled with the absolutely incredible music, it's all quite Heaventabulous to be spiritually "sensate" to what replaces your earthly sensation of hearing here.
I too had a personal experience of this kind.
Thank you for sharing that FRiend.
What man deems ‘impossible’, God says “nothin’ to it”.
The Lord be with you.
“The truck was simply run off the road by the car.”
Yeah, it looked like “suicide by Pepsi truck” or something. Truck cab slid on the drivers side - lucky, lucky driver.
Here are reader/viewer comments from CH 8 in Dallas. Top comment at this time is from the truck driver’s wife. (scroll down)

I read that book. Great testimony about the power of prayer and obedience.
Not sure what the Larry and Mormonism comment is about, though.
Thanks for the ping.

I agree.
In your list, you included NDE -- Near Death Experiences. The case I cited, and also true with some of those you linked to, the man wasn't NDE. Just DE. (He was "dead" for 90 minutes. The paramedics had already done all they could for him).
I think shes right. Everybody knows that the laws of physics dont apply to truckers. ;-)
