Wicked Weather

About the Photo: A '97 Chevy Tahoe rollover. My son Ted was driving it in Pittsford, N.Y. on Monday night [Feb. 12] and avoided a deer, hit black ice, hit a snow bank, went airborne, uprooted and clipped a tree in half, took out a mailbox, rolled the truck over and ended upside down in a ditch with gas pouring out of the tank. Ted is OK. The air bags deployed and the seatbelt worked. There is not much left of the truck. We can't believe he walked away for this accident! The Lord was definitely looking out for him that night!
