A family in Roscommon, Michigan escaped with their lives after a harrowing ordeal on Wednesday morning. Matthew Menz and his family were driving home in their minivan in snowy conditions when the auto hit a semi and became attached to the rig.
Matthew Menz, his wife Pam and two kids in Michigan were driving home in snowy conditions when the auto hit a semi and became attached to the rig.
The driver of the rig didn’t realize the trailer had been hit and that the minivan was being towed behind it. The Menz’s weren’t able to pinpoint their precise whereabouts due to extremely poor visibility.
Pamela told the 911 dispatcher “We ran into the back of a semi-truck and he’s not stopping and our car is embedded underneath of it. Our windshields have completely shattered. I can’t see nothing. I just want to get off the back of this thing.”
Deputies located the rig and stopped the truck driver. By that time the family had been attached to the trailer for nearly 30 minutes and pulled for
