My Subaru saved my kids’ lives
DEAR SUBARU,
September 24, 2026
On September 15th of this year, I got the phone call every parent dreads. My two teenagers were driving themselves to school early that morning when a Chevy Equinox failed to yield and hit them on the front passenger side of their Subaru. The second we got the call, my husband and I rushed to the scene, and I honestly don't think I've ever driven with so many thoughts running through my mind at once. All I could think was, Please let my babies be okay. When we finally arrived, I saw my two kids standing outside the car, talking to the paramedics. I immediately started crying. I was overwhelmed with fear, relief, gratitude, and emotions that are honestly hard to put into words. I looked both of my kids up and down, almost afraid to believe what I was seeing. They were standing there. They were talking. They were okay. Not a single scratch on them—especially my son, considering the impact was on his side of the vehicle. They did have some bumps and bruises, and we know how incredibly lucky we are. Looking at the condition of the car, it is impossible not to think about how much worse this could have been. As a parent, you always hope you will never have to experience something like this. Seeing your child's vehicle destroyed is terrifying, but seeing your children walk away from that wreck is something I will never take for granted. I truly believe that Subaru lived up to its reputation that day. It protected my babies when they needed it most, and for that, I will forever be grateful. ❤️ We will absolutely be buying another Subaru. But more than anything, I am just thankful that on September 15th, we got to take our kids home. The cars can be replaced. The rest is priceless. ❤️🙏 –Lacy – 2019 Subaru Legacy
