Maybe I should move.
This one was bad, very bad.
Today, Saturday morning, family sitting down to breakfast when we hear a horn blare out followed by the most horrific BAM and then several more bangs which turned out to be one vehicle flipping front over back and through a power poll. I immediately jump up and tell the wife call 911, but our phone is out. I run out to the road and below is what I saw.
This was the truck that caused the wreck. Reports from people who were in their cars on the road said this guy was speeding and weaving in and out of traffic and crossed into oncoming traffic.

And another closer up. Notice the power lines under the truck. Paramedics didn't even try to get to this guy. I didn't get close enough to see but I think he may have died.

This is the car I did respond to. It was a small SUV that had an older Asian couple in it. The women was in the passenger seat and pinned in at the hip. I waited with her until the paramedics arrived.

They had to cut the lady out and had her helicopter evac'd out.

Ugh. Two weekends in a row.
