LUCKY DAY

On the way to the Mystic Parade yesterday, i witnessed this accident directly in front of me! I screamed can anyone hear me? the Driver literally crawled out of this vehicle! He was in shock claiming he lost control of the Uhaul while trying to pass an 18 wheeler - I saw what seemed to look like sand and a whipping tornado like wind as the truck continued on in his right lane. The SUV carrying the UHAUL had crossed the highway with the uhaul swinging out of control from left to right!!I watched the vehicle hit the guard rail as it flipped over along with the Uhaul- Flashers & Pulled over > I called in the 911 immediately & ran to the area as I screamed to anyone in the vehicle- the (drivers voice) Im alright!
 was quite the relief!!! I gave the statement to State Police - The driver was of course in shock -but FINE! After everything was settled, i said to the Police; Looks like i won't make my first "Mystic Parade!" He said, well go!! u probably will have some time!??  I did make it there for 200pm - although the Parade started at 100pm!

LUCKY IT WAS A 2 HOUR PARADE! & A VERY GOOD ONE AT THAT!!
A LUCKY DAY! A Very Lucky Day in Mystic!
