a close call

Sometimes you just have to say "Thank you, God." and presume that a whole bunch of guardian angels are working over time.  
My brother and I were driving home this morning from attending a family wedding in Biloxi, Mississippi.  It was a lovely ceremony, and we enjoyed our visit.  More datails about the wedding on another day.
We were leaving Elizabethtown, KY, our stop over place last night, early this morning, while it was still dark.  After a stop for gas,before we got to Louisville, we pulled on to I65.  My brother was driving and pulled into the middle lane when he could.  Just as he got into the middle lane we saw a semi trailer stopped dead in the right lane.  No flashers, no reflectors that we could see, and no tractor.  We were, of course, past it pretty quickly and within a few seconds came upon a semi tractor, with one trailer attached, pulled off to the side of the road.  Our best guess was that the driver had been pulling two trailers (we had seen several of these double trailer rigs while we were driving over the last few days) and his back trailer became detached.  It must have happened just before we came by because there were no flares or reflectors set out.  We were very relieved to see two police cars rushing to the scene.  I sincerely hope that no one plowed into the back of that dark trailer before the police got there.  It would have been like slamming into a brick wall at 70 miles an hour.  
Needless to say, we were saying thank you prayers for the rest of the blessedly uneventful drive home.
