It took a full 30 minutes to cut 15-year-old Will Boggs out of the twisted metal and broken glass that had, moments before, been his family car. Will, who had been sitting in the back seat, received the full impact of the 18-wheeler that T-boned them going 65 miles an hour.
The Accident
Will describes the day of the accident in a post on the Living Waters Ministry website. It was the spring of 2005 when Will, his mother, and his sister were on their way to their grandparents’ house for spring break. It was a dark, rainy, windy day, and visibility was poor. After stopping at a fruit stand, his sister, Casey, who was driving, pulled back out onto the highway. She looked both ways and saw a truck driver motioning her onto the road. She slowly pulled back onto the highway—and was hit by an 18-wheeler going full speed.Will’s mother, Mrs. Boggs, describes the moments after the impact in a video about Will’s story, saying everything became surreal.
