Default Re: Now it's time to say goodbye....

I will offer a few details: It was a "very dark" night (I know that sounds redundant but I think most of you know what I mean) and it was raining extremely hard. The driver lost control of the XF, hit a tree, it rolled (once? twice? no one knows), hit a telephone pole, and landed on the roof. The driver managed to crawl out and went back in a number of times to try to help the passenger not realizing that live power lines were down over the car. A passerby called 911 and rescue personnel arrived and had to wait for the power company to come and remove the power lines. Everyone from rescue, police, power, towing, and insurance say it was about the worse they had ever seen and have people walk away. When I saw the car, my heart sank - not from the loss of the car but trying to image how they survived. A Higher Power was definitely looking out for them that stormy night. It hard to believe that my baby is gone - I really enjoyed the XF!
