An unidentified allegedly drunken driver hit Katie Lentz, of Quincy, Mo., head on Aug. 4 while traveling on Route 19 near Center, Mo., pinning the 19-year-old in the front seat of her convertible. With her vital signs failing fast, she asked rescue crews to pray with her.
That's when first responders say a man who looked like a Catholic priest seemed to appear out of nowhere, despite a 2-mile perimeter blocking the scene.
"He began to pray and use the anointing oil," New London Fire Chief Raymond Reed said. "There was a calmness that, to me, seemed to come over the entire scene."
But that's not the only seemingly divine detail. Firefighters say their equipment kept failing until the mystery man showed up.
"The words were to remain calm, that our tools would now work," Reed said. "Instantaneously, at that moment, our neighboring department arrived with fresh extrication tools."
Lentz survived, but the man vanished before crews could thank him.
Maybe the angel was the drunk who hit the car and after pretending to be a priest ran off?
And the firefighters need to keep their equipment updated if they show up to an emergency and it doesn't work and they have to wait around listening to the drunk blather about being an angel until another fire crew shows up.
I saw that story on the CBS news tonight. Fascinating! I want to hear more details and followup.
And please, God haters, stay off this thread.
I'm interested in this story too. Oh, and not a chance with the God haters, they're like ticks on a dog.
