Rollover

Some of you may have heard, but most probably not. My father-in-law rolled his truck over coming up from the ranch tonight. My wife and I noticed that he had not come back yet, and we were at the bridge with our sons, and it was getting dark. He is not supposed to drive after dark so we went out looking for him. We drove past Orange Hill and then to Hans Larsens and he was not at either one of those. The we started down to the lower ranches. We came upon my wife's cousin, who said that my father-in-law had rolled his truck. Our cousin had just barely called for emergency assistance. We head down a little further and sure enough his truck was down in the dugway. I went down to see how my father-in-law was doing. His head was sticking out the window, pinned in between the truck and the ground. He had a few cuts on his head, but he was breathing and could move his fingers and toes. There was not much we could do until the emergency vehicles arrived. We did get the truck jacked up slightly so it didn't seem like it was straight on his head. Eventually emergency vehicles started coming in. They had to brace the truck so it wouldn't roll back on anyone and eventually cut off the roof of the truck. They got him out and placed him on a backboard and got him out of there. I never though I would see the "Jaws of Life" in action in a real accident. Since we got there to the time they got him out and into the ambulance, it was about 1 1/2 hours and we think that he might have been there a half an hour before we got there. Right now, I am home with our boys and my wife and mother-in-law went up to the hospital. We are just waiting to see what the doctors say. I will post another blog when I know more. Please keep him in your prayers!
