This Teen Deliberately Crashed Head-On Into This Man’s SUV. What Happened Next Is A Miracle. April 10, 2014 Luke was 16 years old when he attempted to commit suicide by driving his family's van head-first into an oncoming car. There were no warning signs that he was depressed. He came from a good Catholic family, was homeschooled, and loved his siblings. Incredibly, he walked away from the horrific crash with literally no more than a scratch.
But that wasn't the only miracle in this story. While the other driver wasn't as lucky as Luke, and while Luke faced serious criminal charges for his behavior, this seemingly dark story has a happier ending than anyone could possibly have imagined.
At 1:44 we see photos of the vehicles after the accident. That anybody walked away from the crash is incredible! But the best part comes at 2:20, where we see the other driver for the first time, and find out what happened to him!
