Was blessed to witness a miracle today!

On the way to DC, before the 495 exit, I saw the cars in front of me slam on their brakes, a cloud of black smoke, and a motorcycle flip over the road onto the guardrail, then a guy running off the left lane. My friend Jen and I just about freak out. Thankfully I was in a gap of cars and was able to pull over to make sure he was ok and sit with him til EMS came. We aren't fully sure what caused the guy to wipe out, but he was blessed with a guardian angel today because not only was he in 1 piece after losing control going 70+ miles a hour, he had the sense to get up and run off the road, which I'm not sure I would've had the brains to do after that! His collarbone was hurting him, so we didn't check for any other injuries, but his jacket had some scratches, not even 1 hole went all the way through the jacket or his pants (I want to get John 1 of those jackets now!). I suspect he'll still have some road rash under it all, but he was blessed! He was even joking with me that at least today was going to be memorable for him. I'm still not over seeing it happen, I suspect that's going to stick with me for awhile. At the moment the only thing I could think was I was watching someone die, then to see him ok, the relief, had us holding back tears. The shaking took awhile to get over. There's miracles all around!
