My wife was coming back from NC today, along with 2 of our grandkids. A few minutes after she crossed the bridge into NJ, a pickup truck in front of her dropped what she thinks was a mattress. There was nothing she could do, and smacked into it at 70 mph. The mattress was standing up on end vertically when she hit it, but some how went under her Rav4. The pickup truck started to stop, but then took off running. Thankfully, no one was injured, and the air bags did not deploy. She called the police, and I went to meet her at the scene. Very slight front end damage and I mean very slight. I checked the undercarriage the best I could, but couldn't detect any damage, and she was able to drive it home. The poor person behind her also hit the mattress, but their car suffered far more damage and will probably need to be towed.

When I think of the "what ifs", I just have to remember that my God is in control, and thank Him for His hand of protection.

I just saw the dash cam thread, and will be ordering 2 this weekend.

Thank God for His hand of protection on your family and thank the engineers at Toyota for the extra ground clearance that they designed into the RAV4.

Good to hear that everyone was OK.

Thank goodness she and the kids are safe. We have 2 Rav4s and they are good family vehicles and drive great in the snow.

Well sounds like your wife did an awesome job riding that out. (y)
Great that everybody's ok.

I was driving 1AM coming down off the mountain, just came off a curve, and to my surprise sitting in the middle of my side of the road was a sofa. I missed it.
I knew it hadn't been there long or it would have been hit already. As I got into the valley about 10 minutes on the right parked in a driveway is a pickup truck with a recliner in the back the same color as the sofa.
