More Car Accidents this Morning
Apr. 14th, 2011 09:16 amThis morning on the way to dropping Mermaid off to school, there were TWO car accidents. TWO!
The first one was a car that had knocked over a woman bicyclist at the second intersection I take to get on the freeway. She was moving, and her bike didn't look bad--I think the driver was slowing down for a red light. There was a cop there (probably came out of the donut shop at the corner of that intersection).
The other accident was on the way home, at the turn I take to get to my house. THIS time, it was yet another car, the third I've seen in the past three weeks, that had jumped off the road and had crashed into a pole on the corner. It must have happened about a half hour after I drove past the spot. A tow truck was pulling up, there was a cop car with lights flashing, and a cop at the scene talking with the driver. This is the same corner that had ANOTHER accident (on the other side of the street) where a VW bug crashed up against a power pole and landed in someone's yard. (they are now putting up a strong looking fence on the street corner side of their property)
That was the same accident someone behind me (when I stopped for a red light) bumped really hard into my back bumper, and then drove off as fast as he could when the light turned green moments later. He was rubbernecking, I guess.
What is WITH people these days? I'm seriously starting to get worried about driving my little Civic. I want a bigger heftier car.
