Praying Nuns Saved When Fuse Blows
Two Roman Catholic nuns pray for their lives as their car struck a utility pole and high tension wires fell on the vehicle in Syosset New York. A fuse blew and the wires went dead saving them from harm. Sisters Mary Antolia and Fidelisima Fidelity were near Riverhead returning to Villa Immaculata when Antolia was forced off the highway by speeding cars. A passerby notified police and LILCO crews responded. The nuns were uninjured and car damage was slight.
