oh...i totally forgot to share this with ya'll
so i am driving to work yesterday morning..."late" (i have a time cutoff that i give myself to not rush but i always miss it..so i am not late to wherever i am going...just in a rush LOL)...me in the right lane, a pack of bikers in the left.
we are all cruising along happy as can be and then all of a sudden i see a big puff of dirt on the left in the sky around the small bend in the fwy and brake lights...the lead rider/road captain and i saw this at the same time and slowed....and this is what we saw
the bikers and i pulled over (it's kind of an unwritten motorcyclist's code on top of good person-ism LOL)
i was shaking like a leaf even tho i didn't even see it happen and called 911...the system was too busy and there was a woman already on the line with them so i hung up.
random irrelevant sidenote: the silver truck in the left of the frame happened to be a former co-worker from when i was a systems administrator.
I asked the lady that witnessed it what had happened; the driver who was in the left lane had somehow gone off into the dirt median and hit the cement divider thing which shot him across rolling like 3x and landing upside down on the other side....
scary stuff...had myself or the bikers been driving a little faster or had i not been late....we all could have been taken out in one fell swoop. seconds DO count...and not just in racing.
i can only imagine the horror for the drivers a few seconds ahead of us. I hope the lady that called and her 9ish year old daughter aren't too traumatized.
the driver was alive but trapped when i left....(there were enough ppl helping that i would have been in the way and emergency responders were on the way)
I was still shaking once i got to work and about 30 minutes later (gotta love adrenaline)
ppl i showed the photo to all said "what kind of car?" and i was like "uhm...white upside down kind?" LOL mercedes?
I hope the driver is ok...nothing in the paper about it this morning.
