Grandpa Accident

April 14, 2007 - Okay, I am going to try to tell you this story but it might get confusing. Just stay with me. Grandma Donoho was all ready here. Grandpa Donoho decided to come today to bring the railing to put up behind the couch. Grandma left before Grandpa because she needed to do some shopping in Springfield. About an hour after Grandpa left, Daddy got a call from Uncle Ryan. Grandpa had been in a car accident. Ryan let us know that he was okay. The accident happened right outside of Litchfield. Grandpa had called Grandma (who was still in Springfield) and Grandma called Uncle Ryan. (Ryan and Krista were in Champaign waiting to have supper with Grandma and Grandpa.) Daddy and Mommy decided to drive up there to see how Grandpa was. By the time we got there, they were cleaning out the truck. The truck was totaled. Basically this is what happened...he was on a two-lane highway. In the other lane, was a truck with a trailer and a wagon attached to the trailer... The wagon came off and hit Grandpa's truck. Luckily, Grandpa could tell something was wrong and started to put his brakes on. The wagon hit the hood on the driver's side. The only injury Grandpa had was a bruised ankle. Although there were no broken bones, he was on crutches and had a hard time getting around for a couple of weeks.
