An Amazing Miracle!



On Sept. 4th, our niece, Jeanine Berglund, left her home in Moscow, Idaho & was on her way to Rexburg, with her son, Andrew, & a friend. They had their Taurus loaded to the hilt with belongings, bottled fruit, etc. as the guys were moving to start fall semester at BYU-I.  As they were almost to Mt. Home, in a line of cars, going 80 mph, passing a tanker truck pulling a trailer, a tire blew out on the car and it started to skid and as it did so, the other three tires blew and the car miraculously went under the tanker in the only opening there was, right by where a ladder came down. The driver of the tanker sort of felt a bump, but didn't have a clue what had happened until he saw the car shoot out the other side and it did seven 360 degree turns, but didn't roll. When the car right behind them stopped to help, they were sure they were dead. When they started to open the doors to get out, they thought they were seeing ghosts. They couldn't believe it & neither could the police! They had seen too many situations like this that were fatal. All three of them were totally fine and nothing was broken or damaged inside the car. The outside was scraped along the top and side & the windshield was broken, as you can see in the picture above. The top would have been ripped off if all the tires hadn't blown out. The timing was too perfect. Their guardian angels were definitely with them that day!

WOW, that is a miracle! How did they get to Idaho? I am so glad that everyone is O.K. That is amazing. So scary.

Your Aunt Jean (Jeaninie's mom) immediately drove from Boise to see what she could do to help. Then they rented a car in Mt. Home and drove the rest of the way to Rexburg.
