Thursday night, Dec. 6, was a night to remember for three of us. We were traveling on Stamey Farm Road in a newly fine-tuned car, came to a stop sign, stopped, looked carefully both ways and, when safety allowed, proceeded into the intersection to cross U.S. Highway 70, onto Bethlehem Road.
There is a curve right by the church on the corner, and to our horror a car came barreling out of the darkness from that curve.
My very best girl friend was in the back where the car was hit and received a broken collar bone. Many thanks are due to passers-by who stopped to inquire if we need help, and to the caring and gentle emergency workers, N.C. State Trooper Crane and friends who came to stand by us.
The driver and I were not injured and it is a miracle that we all survived. My friend was treated and released from Iredell Memorial Hospital and is on the mend, thanks be to God. This hampers her work as a church secretary and we ask your continuing healing prayers for her.
There is a white cross at this intersection where, I understand, a motorcyclist lost his life. This is a very dangerous area, day or night, and even though the sign reads, “Reduce Speed Ahead,” there needs to be additional signage.
