Hey Bro's, a cool story

my mother in law lives south of Clermont, near walt disney world. If you know the area, we often take a "back road" to the parks, well, its not so back roads anymore as gps has figured it out, down sherberth road. One day in May, we were driving back and around the corner in front of me an SUV flipped over - it was light rain, but the SUV was going to fast. I pulled over immediately, my wife and I hopped out and called 911. The SUV was up on a bank on its side so I was worried it would flip back down if the kids (they looked like teeangers) tried to climb out. So I talked to them through the window and got them to stay calm and still until the police arrived and could help stabilize it. They were really freaked out but held my eye contact and listened to me as we talked and they stayed calm. The police got there very quickly and emergency crews just a minute later. We got the kids out and everybody was OK.

I haven't seen this on the news yet so I thought I should let you all know about it.
