August Barn



July 14 Lacey Austin rode through Spanish Fork Canyon with two friends. One friend drove, the other sat in the passenger seat, and Lacey slept in the back. Passing another car, the driver rolled their Saturn down an embankment to the railroad tracks below. "I saw the train coming," Lacey said. "I couldn't feel my hands. I couldn't move. I couldn't pull myself out of the car." Lacey’s friends pulled her free before the train hit and two passersby kept her calm and stabilized until the ambulance arrived. Lacey had a concussion and a broken neck. Her doctors said if it hadn’t been for the two strangers, she might have been paralyzed. It took a few weeks, but Lacey finally found her good Samaritans, Donovan and Terra Kay of Arizona. The Kays had stopped for pictures when they saw Lacey’s car below. Lacey doesn’t believe it was a coincidence. “You guys were meant to be there,” she says.
