He was on his way to Des Moines, he failed to stop at a hyway 3 stop sign, a semi hit driver's side at 60 mph.
Curt survived his surgery to repair heart, has many broken bones, two collapsed lungs, skull fracture.
He's 41, family man , family would have been with him but couldn't go at last minute,
His 2015 ram diesel has side air bags, probably why he is alive!
Guy from emmetsburg witnessed the accident, he got in passenger side and held Curt's hand and told him to hang in there, he was going to make it, till help arrived, an angel for sure!

Wow. I'm glad he's not dead. Sure enough an easy mistake to make.

Glad he is OK. I sure don't envy the long road to recovery he has in front of him.

He's got a long road ahead of him for sure, but he's lucky to be alive.

I almost got T-boned many years ago, but I was lucky to see that the guy wasn't going to stop for the red light and watched him roll through the intersection at 50 plus. I would have been dead for sure.

Somebody looks over us when we need it.

Good luck to your friend and his family.

I pulled out in front of a guy a few days ago on a bad corner. He was behind the passengee door post and I never saw him. I’m not sure how he missed me, but someone definately was watching over both of us. Hope your friend heals well.
