I was too exhausted to share this yesterday, but Tigues and I nearly got wiped out on the Highway 400 on our way to Toronto (near Innisfail -- Ontario has an Innisfail as well!!!).

There had been downpours throughout the day, and a huge puddle of water had built up under a bridge. I saw a car in front of me have a lot of spray when they went under the bridge. I was in the middle lane, and a blue truck was beside me.

It was around 6:00 p.m., and we were both going around 100 km/h (the speed limit). I slowed down a bit. As expected, there was a lot of spray. The blue truck sprayed Tigues, and Tigues sprayed them back.

What I did not expect was for the blue truck to lose control and to start fishtailing across all three lanes of traffic. I felt like a sitting duck. I had no idea where they were going to end up, as they were clearly out of control. I slowed Tigues down as much as I could without losing control myself. I maneuvered to the far right lane (without even really looking who was there). All I could focus on was where this blue truck was going to end up. The person beside me ended up in the shoulder to avoid me.

The blue truck finally came to a screeching halt and banged against the median in the middle. They were facing the complete opposite direction. What looked like a tow truck was on the scene before I had a chance to call 911. I had pulled over in the shoulder, and I was pretty shaken up.

I truly am grateful for the prayers for my safe travels. . . ✝️✝️✝️
