Wow. Yes, when your number is up, you can run, but you can't

HIDE!

I remember thinking that same thing about an auto wreck years ago. I don't call it an accident, because it wasn't. This particular young man had a VERY fast muscle car, a 1970 Dodge Super Bee. A local deputy got behind him one night, trying to pull him over for speeding. Rumor has it the deputy finally bumped him off the road after a chase that went right through our little town at over 110 mph.

His Super Bee clipped off a light pole about eight feet off the ground. The driver was thrown clear, not wearing a seat belt. (He would most assuredly have died if he had been wearing one. The wrecked car was towed to a service station and displayed downtown, and teachers allowed us out of school long enough to go view it, as a cautionary tale against running from the police. It was twice as long, and half as wide as it was supposed to be. The front bucket seat was crushed over against the steering wheel, and the driveshaft was coming through it, all the way through the roof. It is still the most destroyed car I have ever seen from a wreck that didn't burn, to this day.)

As I said, the driver had been thrown clear at over 110 mph, but miraculously appeared to have no major injuries, except one. The utility pole that his car had severed eight feet off the ground had fallen on him, snapping his neck and killing him. As the OP said, when your number is up, it's up.

We get so wrapped up in our lives but none of us are promised tomorrow so we need to make the most of each and every day!
