Along the way from Land's End to St. Ives




I was dozing in the back of the coach when I was awaken by the coach slowing down and people seemed alarmed. A local bus heading in the opposite direction of our bus hit a pedestrian. The front window of the bus shattered. We had two nurses on our bus who got out to see if they could help. The man was bleeding profusely. They reported back that his nose was broken and that he had head lacerations. He was responsive;however, he seemed to be in shock. The driver of the bus said that the man looked right at him and walked out in front of him. The car traveling right in front of us was owned by a retired surgeon. He stopped and offered his services until the police and ambulance came. It was truly quite scary. Our coach had to back up down the road at least a 1/4 mile since we were unable to get around the police cars and ambulance. Please pray for this man. We left not really knowing if he would be ok. Pray for the bus driver as he was a basket case. First time I have witnessed an accident like this while traveling. Praying for traveling safety for the rest of the trip.
