On
Monday morning, April 22nd, my 20-year-old daughter Kimberly was
driving on the interstate to get to her classes at Idaho State
University. She suddenly found herself in a snowstorm and hit black ice.
At 70 mph her truck rolled twice. She was able to crawl out the window
with the help of other motorists. When her dad got to the scene, the
officer told him "we would be having this conversation somewhere else
had she not had her seat belt on". She lost her shoes and her glasses but
literally walked away with just a bump on the head.
At
the same place Kimberly rolled her car is a cross. Less than one month
earlier, a 22-year-old girl rolled her car, was ejected, and died.
Kimberly's accident and this young lady's were both at mile marker 83.
Here is the story from the Idaho State Police blog:
Shortly before 8:00 PM, March 27th, 2013, Idaho State Police
investigated a one-vehicle crash. Sarah Trebilcock, age 22 of Blackfoot
was driving north on I15 at milepost 83, 3 miles north of the Fort Hall
exit. Trebilcock drifted toward the median, overcorrected to the right,
left the roadway, and rolled her vehicle multiple times. She was not
wearing her seatbelt and was ejected. Trebilcock was transported by
ground ambulance to Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello where she
succumbed to her injuries.
