This cache is to recall an event that ended fine for the Andrecht4, but which could have been devastating. In the fall of 2015, we were on our way home from a soccer game and heading west on Hillsdale Rd. It was well after dark by the time we crossed Highway 41. As we went across the southbound lanes, there was a huge impact. Having seen nothing, it felt like we had hit a ghost. We quickly realized what had happened: another vehicle had been driving south on the highway with no headlights on, completely invisible in the darkness. The front of our vehicle had clipped the other vehicle as it went past. Had we been going a bit faster, or the other vehicle a bit slower, the collision would have been broadside. Injuries to my wife and son on the passenger side would have surely been horrific, and the other driver would have likely been seriously injured as well. Instead, the impact was scary and loud but did not cause injury. I drove our truck over the tracks and pulled off the road to the right. My wife went to check on the other driver while I stayed behind to deal with a fire in the headlight compartment. In the end, the vehicles were repairable and nobody was injured. All ended well. However, nearly every time I drive through that intersection I remember how bad that night could have been, and I thank God for being the Rock that protected us that night.
Congrats to Ex1414 for claiming FTF!
