Father John Bok OFM, 87, a retired physics teacher, escaped a major collision on October 2, feast of the Guardian Angels.
He was on his way to preside a Eucharist at St Andrew Church in Milford, Ohio when a young man driving a SUV near Bok had a seizure behind the wheel. His car went off-road, rammed an obstacle, went airborne over Bok’s car without touching it, and landed on all four wheels.
Bok told CatholicNewsAgency.com (1 November) that this was "a miracle". Being blind in his left eye and having poor hearing, he had mistaken the flying vehicle for a bird. It was only after the Eucharist that a police officer told him what had happened.
The video below was caught by a funeral home across the accident scene. The young man was not hurt.

@CatholicDoors A tad lower speed, a shade different angle of approach, a bit smaller poles, soft spots in the ground around the poles, or any very slight differences in the circumstances would likely have left the Priest with serious injuries.
But, of course, that's all just pure coincidence, and the situation had nothing to do with angels, and probably nothing to do at all with any kind of Divine …More

JUST PURE COINCIDENCE, and those are the FACTS. Thanks for setting us straight. (And thanks for blocking me, I wouldn't want a dissenting opinion to interfere with your insights.)

Amen.
Wonderful miracle, but, Ok, laughing here...the priest thought it was a bird that flew over him? From the dinosaur era? God saved him, and maybe is telling him to turn in the car keys!

Those cars were not in in the way to crash in a head collision.

In his defense, cars don't ordinarily fly over someone, so, I'm happy to cut him a little slack on this.
