cleveramerican was nearly killed by drunk driver last night.
Advertisements [?]
Last night ,my dad, was broadsided coming through our town by a drunk driver and sustained serious injuries.He was on his way home from town meeting where he spoke passionately in favor of spending the money to build a new high school for my sisters and I.He has a broken back, two broken arms and a fractured skull.He was taken by helicopter to Boston where he is in intensive care. My mom says he will probably live but he is very badly hurt and needs our prayers more than ever before.His pride and joy, his Mini Cooper is completely destroyed and dad doesn't even know it yet.

He was wearing his DU tee shirt when the accident happened.

The lady who hit him was arrested for drunk driving for the 10th time. She has no license to drive, the car was a borrowed one. She killed a six year old boy in another car wreck in 1999.Now she has nearly killed my dad.

I don't want my dad to die I still need him. He has a way of explaining things that makes it all seem like it will work out okay. We talk about boys and high school and the news and he makes it all seem not so scary for me. I love him for that.

Some of you may already know, some of you may have sent over food for my family, But I wanted to try and let some of Dads friends here about what has happened.He was wearing his DU tee shirt when the accident happened.

Say a prayer for my dad. Sincerely yours, hope-to-one-day-be-a cleveramerican
