Tag: still a little rattled even though it didn’t happen to me and I’m now safe at home

November 24, 2016 odilettanteLeave a comment

Left work 2-and-a-half hours late and witnessed a car accident that I’m praying the crazy-ass driver that caused it is still alive. The other car seems okay – banged up but everyone is moving –but holy crap that responsible car bounced multiple times against the overpass walls then flew down the embankment. It was wild and a bit terrifying – I felt helpless while watching it happen, but wtf don’t drive over 100mph on the highway in the middle of the city, even if it’s midnight.

Tagged called 911, extra defensive in my driving skills, I feel like I ought to have stayed but it's not like I could do anything, I pulled over, I was rattled the rest of the drive home, it happened mere meters from me, made sure help was coming and got my name down as a witness, still a little rattled even though it didn't happen to me and I'm now safe at home, then left, there were other cars pulling up as I was leaving -- family I think?
