Father Stephen Gadberry

So he leaned over to grab it. When he did, yanked the steering wheel and went in the ditch and caught a culvert and started doing cartwheels. My older sister, Courtney, she was 11. The truck landed on her. She died immediately. My dad, he was 32, which is wild, you know, to think that. He had I think he died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. Punctured lungs, stuff like that.

I had just some cuts and scrapes, a broken ankle. My little sister, she was three. I was eight. Little sister was three. She just got crushed. She was sitting on my dad's lap. None of us were wearing seat belts. And she was sitting on my dad's lap. And so whenever we hit the culvert, she just got crushed between my dad and the steering wheel.

So everything like from the waist down was just crushed, collarbone also, and her arm. She was in a body cast. I remember that mom, you know, pulling her around in a little wagon for that. But I remember, you know, dad was there just kind of breathing heavy and I remember sitting on his chest and him groaning about it. Now I know why. You know, punctured lungs.

You wouldn't want someone sitting on your chest if you had a punctured lung. And then, yeah, you know, for an eight-year-old, that's some... Do you remember that?

May 5th, 1994, you know, it was probably around, I don't know, 6 or so, 5.45, 6.15, somewhere around there maybe. No, probably later than that, probably around 6.15, 6.45 in the morning. It just grew as a little kid's brain, you know. So... Talking about little signs from God. I remember just the week before, we were on the farm.

My uncle, who ran the farm, just the week before, he was saying, Hey, Steven, if you ever run on the tractor and you need to stop me, just come out, just wave your hands, and I'll know to come check on you, come see what you need, because I won't hear your voice. So just wave your arms. I realized shit wasn't good, like trucks upside down. It's like something out of a movie scene, a war zone.

So I'd hobble my way up to the side of the road and little cars coming, so I'd flag them down. And I'd say, yeah, here's the phone number. And then they went up to, I don't know if he called, I guess he called. And mom, yeah, answered the phone and We live on the farm. My grandparents lived on the farm as well. They're deceased now. So mom calls my grandpa and says they were in a wreck.
