I just saw GOD on the 385 – this was how a witness described an accident in State Route 385 in Memphis, Tennessee after a car veered off the road to the left, hit a pole and was quickly engulfed by fire.
The incident reportedly happened on Sunday, February 21, around 2:00 pm.
Responding officers , with the help of some Good Samaritans tried desperately to rescue the driver who was pinned behind the steering wheel, unconscious.
“Everybody started getting stuff to bust the windows. We had to get the man out of this car,” one of the witnesses, Elicia Bridgfort, told WMC – TV.
As it appeared that the driver was completely trapped behind the wheels, one man quickly joined with an iron jack in hand and broke the car window, while others tried to find an extinguisher to put out the fire.
“All I could find was a gallon of water, so I went back and wet him so maybe it wouldn’t burn him and I could keep him as moist as possible,” another witness recalled.
The rescue officer managed to pull out the man from the driver seat before the car exploded. The victim was immediately rushed to the Regional Medical Center where he remains in non-critical condition.
But the story doesn’t end there.
The Jeep quickly burst into flame, reducing it to ashes several minutes later. A picture later uploaded on social media showed the vehicle in a charred state where no one, or nothing could have survived.
The Bible was found in the passenger seat of the completely charred car
However, officers were amazed after a Bible was recovered lying on the passenger seat – unharmed, unscathed and unburned.
“I just saw GOD on 385. I’m always in awe of his wonders but today just blew my mind,” wrote Ms. Anita Irby in a Facebook post.
She also managed to record a video of the incident and uploaded a copy on social media. The clip quickly went viral.
“None of the flames touched him and even after the car exploded once All these God blessed people ran back up …Now the passenger even begged them to just let him die . End of Story he’s Alive and well,” she said further.
Another witness couldn’t agree more.
“That is God .If you don’t believe it, I don’t know what to say,”said Eugene McNeil.
