Throwback Thursday #14




For this Throwback I had to include 2 pictures and tell the story. This is from 2006. For those of you who love BYU like my family you will remember the famous pass from John Beck to Jonny Harline that won the BYU vs Utah game. This happened the same night. Unfortunately my photos don't do the event justice. After the game we headed up Provo canyon to go to Park City for a quick shopping trip. We were headed around a bend and Anna (my sister) screamed. Because of the turn she could see everything first. We all looked up and saw the ending of what she saw. A tanker coming down the canyon went across the road to our side and turned on its side and then slid on the road, blocking our side. There was crazy dust everywhere, which you can't see. Anna and Shane jumped from the car and ran to the scene, not even thinking this tanker could hold gasoline! So brave! The rest of us stayed in the car because it was dangerous and Max was sleeping. I took this picture of us waiting in the car. We were the first on the scene. Luckily the tanker had been carrying milk and he was empty. They helped the guy and when the police arrived the filled out a statement. They completely closed the canyon and we had to head back out of the canyon and go the SLC route. Crazy event! Basically that whole night (between this and the BYU game) is forever going to be remembered.
