On my way home, in front of Devonshire Mall, I witnessed a very confusing accident. It involved a yellow light, a red light, a right turn, a swerve, a side swipe, a clip, 2 cars and a van, one driver starting to drive away then parking and walking back, an unimpressed man, a fairly old woman who limped...
I changed lanes and just drove home! I'm really NOT sure what the heck I saw. (Everyone was fine and the damage was fairly minor.)
Seriously, I'd be a lousy witness for this one. I couldn't swear to anything except that the woman driving the van turned right on the red, I'm not even sure where the one car came from?
The interesting part of this is that my theory of carrying latex gloves in the car to ensure I never have to pull someone out of a car wreck again, works!
Really, it does, pre gloves I pulled people out of wrecks three times. Post gloves in the car, zero!
Before anyone says anything about moving them... 1 was a smashed car; (hit by a dump truck,) smoking, ruptured gas tank, gas running across the pavement - did I mention it was a gas station parking lot that the car got pushed into? 1 was a smashed car, smoking, ruptured gas tank on the express way - wait that accident had 2, but he really was just shaken up and needed a hand to get out. The third time was a smashed, smoking van, the kids were ok, the woman not so good, two guys helped me that time. That's when I started carrying the gloves!
