Would You Please Pray?

About 15 minutes ago our doorbell rang and it was our neighbor Kara, and she was in tears. She asked if I could call my "prayer chain" and ask for prayer for her friend Nick. He lives a few homes from us and is over at Kara's often playing with her dog Bella. I've talked with him a couple times but don't know him very well. Anyway, Monday night a boy was involved in a hit and run accident and I just found out that boy was Nick. He was hit very close to where we live. (You can see our townhome complex in the background of the news report.)

Here is what Fox News reported:

SHAKOPEE, Minn. -- An 11-year-old boy is in the hospital after he was struck by a truck in a hit and run accident Monday night.

Nick Hagadorn was biking home during the Monday night thunderstorm. The child was hit while riding his bike near the intersection of 17th Avenue East and Marschall Road South in Shakopee around 8:30 p.m.

The police officer on scene reported that the child was unresponsive and not breathing. He was critically injured in the crash.

Hagadorn was airlifted to St. Francis Regional Hospital and suffered a torn aortic valve. He underwent surgery.

The driver of the truck, a 40-year-old Prior Lake man, left the scene, but was arrested shortly after. He was in jail Tuesday, booked on three traffic violations. Several witnesses saw Randal Joseph Hennes leave the scene. He is awaiting charges at the Scott County Jail.

The driver has one prior conviction for drunk driving on his record.

The Minn. State Patrol is reconstructing the accident.

You can watch the report here.

Would you please pray with me? How cool would it be if he would be healed and God would get the glory! (Flashes of my cousin Josh ran through my memory as he was hit by a car when he was younger while riding his bike. Thankfully he survived without any lasting effects.)

Thanks.
