TN Highway Patrol to conduct 'no refusal' enforcement Labor Day weekend

[Ghost in the Machine]

21. Thank you, and yes they are fine now. I actually heard the call come over my scanner about

5 minutes or so after they left my house, and I tried calling them both and neither one answered. It happened at the first stop sign from my house... 3 miles from my house... Then I get a text from a friend saying "get your ass down to 4 Corners, your son is laying in the middle of the road and your niece is trapped in the car!" Needless to say, I was gone in a flash and broke a few driving laws getting there. They wouldn't let me near the ambulance or see my son at first, and I was thinking the worst and really freaked out. I had called my folks and my sister as I was leaving, and they got there right after me. I'm standing in the pouring rain, still trying to get to the ambulance, when they finally told me my son was ok.

The reason he was in the street was because, even though in shock, he had gotten out of the car and went to the drivers side trying to get his cousin out in case the car caught fire... or before they got hit again, but he wound up just collapsing in the road.

I still worry every time one of my kids leave the house, even though my daughter just turned 22 last week and my son will be 21 next month. I raised them alone since they were 3 & 4 years old and they will ALWAYS be my *kids*.

Peace,
