I won the lottery of Life today

Seriously. My arse channeled Steve McQueen on I-20 east of Atlanta today. I pulled a one in a thousand escape from catastrophe in a damn Suburban.

Had to go from West Ga. to Covington to pick up my oldest daughter from an overnight team building event. Loaded my other 3 kids in the Suburban at 1:00pm and headed East on I-20.Drove about 55 miles and was around Lithonia driving in the second lane from the wall. Traffic was flowing about 75-80mph.

Suddenly, about 150 yards ahead I see a car spin out ( didn't see what caused it) and go 90 degrees to the and smash backwards into the barrier wall. There were 2 vehicles ( car and truck) between that car and my own. Soon as I saw the one car spinning I hit the brakes down to about 60 but the two vehicles ahead of me were to close to the spinning car to avoid colliding with the first car as it sprung back into the two left lanes like it had been dropped on a trampoline. The first car behind hit it broadside on the rear end going about 55mph. It got sideways itself and was hit by the truck in front of me going about 55mph.

I was heading right into the fray and was trying to steer to the hole that was most open to minimize our impact. This all happened in about 4 seconds of time and the cars were still spinning around in front of me. A hole about a foot wider than my Suburban briefly opened to my left. I had to go pretty hard left to shoot that hole and then hard back right to avoid t- boning the first car.

I tell you that felt like slow motion as it developed. I wish I had a go pro in the car because it was the most calamitous 4 seconds I have ever seen on the road. shite was bouncing and skidding everywhere in front of us with and there was no hope for avoiding the wreck at high speed until that little seam opened up at the last millisecond. If I would have been behind me a safe distance and saw a Suburban get through that unscathed I would have thought they were the luckiest people alive. My kids were in disbelief at how we came out the other side of that without any collision.

I bought one powerball ticket tonight but I do not have a chance. My luck was spent today.
