Okay, slightly off topic, but I was driving my Subaru at the time.
I'm in the slow lane on the freeway, at the tail end of a line of cars, driving
60mph, amongst a moderate amount of traffic. A blue pickup truck comes up from
behind, pauses for a few seconds, then moves into the middle lane. I don't
think he signaled, but I could be wrong. Just then, I see a flash of red in my
driver's side mirror, then hear a loud SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH ! Looking in my
rearview mirror, I see the blue pickup sliding sideways, aiming at the outside
shoulder, looking like it's about to flip any moment (It didn't). As I slowly
continued, I see a red Camaro against the inner wall, facing the wrong way.
With another car butted up against it. WOW !
I continued on, since I didn't do anything, and really didn't observe much
either, but drove back the other way on the freeway after finishing my short
errand. There was a fire truck, numerous patrol cars, and an ambulance. The
driver of the red car was being loaded into the ambulance. The cops were still
interviewing the driver of the pickup.
Later in the day, I drove that stretch again, and looked at the skid marks.
Looked like the red car tried to do a 'three lane' change to the right in order
to make an exit, but found the pickup comming the otherway, they banged, then
both spun. The Camaro went into the wall backwards, with tire marks all the way
to the top of the wall !
Unbelievable. Glad they didn't take me out with them.
In the evening, I was exiting the grocery store, turned towards the parking
lot, paused, looked for traffic when ZOOOOM! some bozo zips right by me along
the gutter. Moron.
It's just getting too dangerous around here !
