Kids of Centenary United Methodist Church and others
Please pray for over 22 kids and adults of Centenary United Methodist Church from Lexington, Ky and 2 children and the driver of a pick-up truck that collided earlier this afternoon in Dothan. There were a total of 79 passengers in 3 buses traveling from Ky to Panama City Beach when the accident happened during a storm. The kids were on their way to a retreat.
It is our understanding that 2 kids that were passengers in the truck are critical. As bad as this accident was, it could have been so much worse.
ACCIDENT
Later reports said it appears the pick-up hydroplaned . If that is true then there was NOTHING either driver could have done to have avoided the accident.
About 3 years ago we had recently bought a new truck. We were about 50 feet from this same spot when we were caught in the tailwind of a tornado. Bob hydroplaned and luckily we did not hit anyone nor did anyone hit us. We had a totaled truck and sore backs but nothing major.
These kids need our prayers as I know first-hand what they are going through. The people of Dothan deserve a hand for coming together and caring for more than 80 people last night as there were 3 buses from this church traveling together
