Couldn't verify with Snopes, but a great story. I added one more at the end about my wife... a similar event in her life!
How Awesome
(You gotta believe a 6 year old)
Howard County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call one Saturday
afternoon a few months ago. His 6-year-old grandson Mikey had been
hit by a car while fishing in Greentown with his dad.
The father and son were near a bridge by the Kokomo Reservoir when a woman
lost control of her car, slid off the bridge and hit Mikey at a rate of about 50 mph.
Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents like this and feared the worst.
When he got to Saint Joseph Hospital, he rushed through the emergency room to
find Mikey conscious and in fairly good spirits.
"Mikey, what happened?" Sheriff Marr asked. Mikey replied, "Well, Papaw, I
was fishin' with Dad, and some lady runned me over, I flew into a mud
puddle, and broke my fishin' pole and I didn't get to catch no fish!"
As it turn ed out, the impact propelled Mikey about 500 feet, over a few
trees and an embankment and in the middle of a mud puddle. His only injuries
were to his right femur bone which had broken in two places. Mikey had
surgery to place pins in his leg. Otherwise the boy is fine. Since all the
boy could talk about was that his fishing pole was broken, the Sheriff went
out to Wal-mart and bought him a new one while he
was in surgery so he could have it when he came out.
The next day the Sheriff sat with Mikey to keep him company in the hospital.
Mikey was enjoying his new fishing pole and talked about when he could
go fishing again as he cast into the trash can.
When they were alone, Mikey, just as matter-of-factly, said, "Papaw, did you
know Jesus is real?
Well," the Sheriff replied, a little startled.
"Yes, Jesus is real to all who believe in him and love him in their hearts."
"No," said Mikey. "I mean Jesus is REALLY real."
"What do you mean?" asked the Sheriff.
"I know he's real 'cause I saw him." said Mikey, still casting into the trash can.
"You did?" said the Sheriff.
"Yep," said Mikey.
"When that lady runned me over and broke my fishing pole,
Jesus caught me in his arms and laid me down in the mud puddle."

Here's my wife's story:
She was driving her Volkswagon Beetle back in the 70's and she was hit hard by a drunk. The car was pushed into a storefront window. While the impact was taking place, she felt someone reach under her and pick her up and put her on the passenger side. After the wreck, she was able to push herself out of the car, and didn't look back at the Beetle as she wanted to check the other driver. (Aside from the fact that she just experienced a miracle, she still wanted to have words with the other driver!) She was ok, some small bruises only!
A while later her cousin was over and he started to talk with her about the aftermath of a car accident he saw in town. He described what was left of a Volkswagon Beetle and thought for sure the driver was killed because of the condition of the driver's side! My wife told him that was her car, and said how she was picked up by what could only be an angel, and put on the passenger side. Her cousin turned white, he couldn't believe it, but the proof was before his eyes!
Thanks be to God, who saved my wife in such a miraculous way
