SCARY!!!!!!

So me and Brandon had an eventful day yesterday. We went to Phoenix this weekend to pick up an order and watch conference with his parents. Well when we were coming home last night, we were in Globe when all the sudden I hear Brandon say, "What the heck is this guy doing?" So I look up and there is a four-runner coming right at us. So Brandon starts to slow down and lays on his horn. The guy slowed down a little bit and tried to move over but we were in the lane right next to the median so there was no where he could go. And there was a semi on the other side of us so we could not move over either. Once the semi realized what was going on he tried to move over as much as he could and this aloud us to get our truck far enough out of the way that he didn't hit the truck. But we were pulling our trailer and there was not room to move it. So we heard the car hit one of the side lights on our trailer and we thought that would stop him but he didn't, he kept trying to go and then he hit he wheel-well, so now he is stuck between our trailer and the median. Brandon was getting a little upset cause this is not the first trailer that has been hit while hooked to his truck (for anybody who didn't know, when we were moving Brandon's parents into their house someone rear ended the trailer and totaled it and bent the frame on Brandon's truck.) Anway, I get the phone to call 911 and the ladies answers and asked where we are and I had not idea, and then she was like, "are you on the highway 60?" and I was like yes, and then she was like, "are you reporting the guy driving down the wrong side of the road?" I said yes but he also hit our trailer. So she dispatched some police officers to us but all the sudden 7 cop cars and two ambulances show up. The reason for this was the officers first got the call saying someone was driving down the wrong side of the road and then they got a call saying that he sit someone, so they all thought it was a head on collision. Anyway, everyone shows up and the get the guy out of his car and he has no idea what is going on and he doesn't really understand what anyone is telling him. But we had to unhook Brandons trailer to move it so we could get it off his car and then they moved us all into a parking lot so we could get out of the street. The officer writing it all up was obviously new and he filled it all out on the wrong paper work and so he had to do it all over again. It took forever!!!! we were there for like an hour and half. But it was kind of sad cause they brought the guy into the parking lot and he got in his car, and he was like searching for something and the officer was like, "what are you looking for?" And the guy said my keys. And the officer was like we have your keys and you are not aloud to drive. And they guy didn't understand why. I really don't think he every had any idea what happened or what was going on. So once all the paper work was filled out they let us leave and I was looking at the police report and the old man was 90 years old!!! If he is that old and that out of it, he should not be driving!! Anyway, lucky no one was hurt and I told Brandon it is probably a good thing that he hit our trailer and not someones car. We probably saved someone life. So it was a fun night.
