According to news reports, the Liberty County woman believes she was saved by a miracle.
January 23, 2019 – 12:00 pm: A Liberty County woman was injured, but survived an accident in which a large oak tree fell on her vehicle while she was going at highway speed.
The accident took place on FM 1008, north of Dayton, where Denise was driving northbound in the vehicle she calls her Prayer Wagon.
Denise reports that she heard a loud boom and saw branches coming through her windshield. An oak tree by the side of the road had split and fallen on her car, causing her to spin out.
The oak tree crushed the front half of the vehicle. Denise reports, “I remember spinning my seatbelt so tight that I could barely move my legs were swimming down in the floorboard.”
She believes she was saved by a miracle. Her husband, who is a Justice of the Peace for Liberty County, agrees: “I’ve seen people die in automobile accidents not nearly that severe. I mean, there was nothing left of that car except for that one little bubble where she was sitting.”
The accident is still being investigated at this time.
