WOW, what a night.
Debbie and I leave the house to visit all the grandkids before they go their way to trick or treat. Our youngest Matt ask if we can come back later to keep the girls while he takes his wife out for her birthday dinner. They won't be to late since the oldest has a ballgame at 9:30 am. We get a call at 11:30 pm, it's his wife on his phone. "WE are alright. We had a wreak. We got ran over by a drunk. Had to wait until the suv was turned over before we could look for one of our phones. Can I come and get them?"
Said they went to Horseshoe casino for dinner, were on 61 about a mile south of Grand Parkway N headed north when they got hit. They were traveling about 60 mph. A deputy said he was chasing the other car at 100 mph and it was leaving him behind, estimates 120 mph. They were hit in the left rear, sending them into 4 or 5 donuts on the highway. When they hit gravel the suv flipped on the drivers side. A tree kept them from rolling.
The lady didn't have a clue as to what happened, she had to ask. When MHP arrived she was showed what she did. She pulled out money offering to pay for damage. She was shipped to Tunica's finest with 12 charges.
I got them home and we came home, got in bed about 3:30 am. Teresa posted some pictures of the 2 cars on their facebook page (Teresa Matt Thompson). We talked to them this morning, not a scratch, just a little sore. We will be headed over to keep the girls as they try to work tonight.
