Glenn Beck’s SUV Rental Goes Wrong and Rolls Down a Hill in Upstate New York
Radio personality Glenn Beck lost his rental SUV this past weekend when it rolled down a hill at the Finger Lakes area in Upstate New York right after his daughter’s wedding. There were no occupants inside the vehicle at the time of the crash, which significantly damaged the vehicle. To the amazement of the family, the radio personality calmly told them to “let it go.”
Most people that have had to put a wedding together understand that it can be a stressful situation. Deadlines to meet, people to gather, and making sure that everything is perfect for that wedding date. For Beck, it was an especially stressful one.
Beck told audience members of his radio show, “Right after my daughter’s wedding it was — have you ever had one of those days. You’ve never had one of these days. Imagine having one of these days where the stress is just going, and this could be a TV commercial. This is father of the bride. This is like the end of the father of bride. Everything you’ve done. It‘s in God’s hands now.”
Following his daughter’s wedding, he arrived to the small cottage he had rented out for his family to stay in during the weekend. He stepped out of the vehicle and as soon as he reached the front door with his daughter, he turned around to see that his wife was holding onto the door handle of the vehicle as it began to slide down the hill. It was an event that he refers to as having a scene similar to the Steve Martin movie “Father of the Bride”.
“I‘m there with my daughter holding her in my arms because it’s after the wedding. I open up the door, and my wife says, “Help! Help!” I see my wife dressed in her evening gown from the wedding, and she’s holding on to the door handle of the car as the car is starting to slide down the hill, and I just said ‘Let it go honey,’” stated the transcript.
A security detail personnel that was with them rushed to the vehicle as it began down the slippery slope in search of the son, whom the personnel though was still in the vehicle. Seeing no one was inside, the security personnel hopped out of the sliding vehicle, which then began to roll down the hill several times, considerably damaging the vehicle. It turned out that the son was with the mother.
According to The Blaze, the family was in awe at the way Beck handled the situation. His reaction was calm and he told his family, “Well, let’s go say our prayers and go to bed.”
