Trina... I <3 you! This evening we drove through a green light ... another car ran the red light. Our truck rolled. Our daughter is safe and sound because her car seat kept her tight and safe as the truck rolled over. Please, please, please... install them correctly and use those carseats! GoodWolf and I are in a lot of pain but we are alive and it's amazing what a seatbelt can do. After tonight, I wish they would install 5 point harnesses for adults as well.

I've been in a car that flipped over so know the pain. But thank god you have it and you and family are alive and not seriously hurt. I can only begin to imagine the terror for your child until you knew she was ok!

YEAH!! Glad to hear you're all OK! I love stories like these!  Unfortunately, I often hear tragic stories due to kids not being properly restrained.  Keep in mind that some injuries may not show up until a few weeks after the accident. Oh, and your DD will need a new car seat. They need to be replaced after a crash. To get your car seats inspected and to learn how to properly install them visit a Child Passenger Safety Technician in your area.

Thanks everyone. That was a surreal experience to be gliding across the street with the pavement next to my head. We are heading to the emergency room now. We are banged up pretty bad. I think I have a bruised rib and possibly a disclocated shoulder along with several bruises and scraps. HM's neck is killing her and she is also having back and side pain. We will let you know what they say when we get home.

Oh my gosh I am so glad everyone is okay! How is the person who ran the red light? I hope they sustained as many injuries as you did *grr*

Wow... I'm very happy that you guys are ok. Just one question though: Did you really take the time to come on PF and post before heading to the emergency room?
