Lee's Rollover

















In February, Lee went to California to do a job for Desktop Visuals. On the way home when they were about to Beaver, Utah the roads were bad because of weather. Tiffany was driving and lost control of the van. It began to fishtail and she started to yell or scream. This woke up Lee, who was sleeping in the passenger seat.

Lee woke up just in time to see the road coming toward him from the right front part of the van. The van was rolling. It broke the windshield and the passenger window. The van rolled onto it's top and slid through the median and ended up in the lane of oncoming traffic with Lee outside the van in his Tshirt and stocking feet. He hurried to the driver side of the van to help Tiffany out of the van but by then, she had unbuckled and got out of the van through the passenger window.

A car came by and called 911. Another car came and asked if they needed anything. Lee said he was cold (imagine standing in the snow in a T shirt and stocking feet). They let him sit in their car with a towel wrapped around him until the ambulance came. When the ambulance got there, Lee got out of the car and walked over to them and showed them his left hand that was injured. They had him lay down on the board etc. and transported him to the hospital where his hand was treated.
While at the hospital Lee met a group of young people who were driving from California and had also had a similar accident. They gave him a sweat shirt (one of the ones they had intended to sell at their destination). It says Liberty in North Korea.
We are grateful that Lee was not injured more than he was.
