Driver crunched between two semis believes God saved his life

(ANS -- January 27, 2015)
Every side of his pickup truck was completely smashed and compacted
after Kaleb Whitby struck a semi from behind and was then hit by another
semi in a highway pileup caused by morning fog and black ice.
Whitby
literally walked away unscathed – with just two Band-Aids – after his
Chevy Silverado was banged, spun, and ultimately came to rest in the
vice-grip of parallel semi trucks. By God’s protective hand, he narrowly
escaped death.
“I
do believe in God. I do believe He protected me,” Kaleb told
GodReports.com. “I don’t know if it was an army of angels that held
those trucks apart, but I know it wasn’t my strength. I have faith that
somebody was there to protect me.”
The 27-year-old Mesa, Washington, resident left Baker at 5:30 a.m. on January 17th headed
for Council, Idaho to pick up goods for his farm. It was cold and
driving conditions were dicey, but he hoped for incident-free travel.
Out
of the fog emerged a semi jack-knifed across the lanes of I-84. Kaleb
down-shifted and braked as he headed downhill, but it was to no avail.
His front bumper clipped the back of the semi, and he swirled around so
that his passenger side faced oncoming traffic.
Then he was startled by the headlights of another semi that emerged from the fog.
“I
closed my eyes and said a prayer,” Kaleb said. Glass shattered and
metal crunched like a soda can as every part of his pickup compacted
between the two trucks.
