On Christmas night about 9 years ago, we were on our way home from Christmas dinner at the in-laws. We stopped at a convenient store to get some lottery tickets and coffee. While we were at the register, an SUV plowed through the store. The rows of shelves fell down like dominos. Glass flew through the air and cut up my son. I got hit from behind by many things (not sure what) and as I was falling TOWARD the vehicle's path, hubby grabbed my arm and yanked me out of the way of the SUV just in time. I injured my back and neck but 6 months of PT fixed me up.
Many many injuries that night cuz the store was full of people. A teenager was trapped under the SUV. Children were bleeding and crying (the candy isle & shelving was knocked down injuring kids). One lady had a broken hip. Thankfully nobody lost their life.
Our lottery tickets went flying and got lost LOL. We sure wish we knew if we had won something on that crazy night but we'll never know. |
