Louie, thank you. That was my father who was pulled from the wreck this afternoon. Your reporting helped us bear witness to the accident and provided us with a visual of what a horrific event he experienced. By the power and grace of God, he is OK. He’s going to require some surgery, but he’s doing fine — thanks in large part to several good Samaritans and first responders who acted quickly to make sure he was safe, extracted him from his vehicle, and got him to the ER. We count ourselves blessed many times over. Again, Louie, thank you for this video, as it sheds light onto what he experienced and makes us ever so grateful that he lived to tell the tale.
