    OK, now that I'm back in civilization with a good signal....

    Travelling EB on US 82/ GA 520 between Sasser & Albany, GA in the right lane. This is a 4 lane divided hwy. Pickup truck towing a work trailer was in left lane just ahead of me. We were coming up on a cross-over in the median from an adjacent road. 4 wheeler is in the median on cross-over where I assumed they were gonna wait before proceeding.
    NOT!!
    4 wheeler crawls into left lane. I realized they were gonna hit the pick up truck.....They hit his trailer.
    Split second later, I realized I was next. She bounced off the end of the work trailer straight at me. She put the noise of her car between the end of the skirt and trailer tandems.
    Rolled right over her. (Axle weight was 33960 lbs). Trailer flew in the air almost tipping over. Fought like hell to keep it up and come to a stop.

    Started walking back anticipating a dead, mangled body in the driver's seat. (Car was spun around so I walked up to the trunk 1st, not knowing the extent of the damage. Saw 3 people standing bff the side of the car. The guy kept walking and looking into car at what I figured was a f'd up body.
    I yell, "is there someone in the car?" Dude looks at me and sez, "We're all OK."
    We??? I get to the car and ask what he meant. Those 3 people were the ones in that car.
    I literally asked, "How the f*** are you all standing? Not a scratch, cut, or blood on any of you."

    Freaking miracle!

    This happens right at 1700 eastern time yesterday.
