I get to work and there is a wreck involving a Malibu and a Grand Marquis at the stoplight right in front of it. I watched the emergency workers pull a person out of each car. I knew it was bad. The news later confirmed the one in the Grand Marquis didn’t make it.
Always be aware of your surroundings. From what I understand one of the vehicles ran a red light.

The Panthers are bad news when they get hit from the side. A good friend lost his dad when someone blew a stop sign on a rural road and hit his Grand Marquis in a similar crash. He said his dad always wanted a Mercedes, and he told him he should get one. Figures he’d probably still be around if he did.
Side airbags save lives - while we all like to complain about modern cars, modern safety features are a good thing.

In the first mile of my drive to work this morning, one person backed out of their driveway without looking and two people ran red lights - one in front of me, one behind. Today just feels weird and I want to crawl back in bed and hide for a bit.

Agreed. It was in bad shape after the wreck. The passenger side was caved in over a foot from getting hit by the Malibu and the driver’s side was caved in because it was pushed into the pole for the red light.

It’s definitely a day to just go home and stay there. So much going on today that sucks.

had I been the first in light on the way home yesterday I would probably have been hit. the worst part is there was a very long 4 way red crosswalk before I got the green so its not like he was even trying to ‘beat the red’ he was just a dumb fuckstick

People just pay less and less attention on the roads each year it seems. It is sad that one of the eventual reasons we all go to autonomous cars one day may be to save ourselves from our own stupidity.
The smarter technology gets, the dumber we get.

Are you OK? This and all the tornadoes yesterday and today. You must be terrified.

I just checked and the weather will get to us around 4am. Hopefully won’t be bad. I’m an amateur storm chaser though so it doesn’t really scare me. I respect it, though, and I will say I hate bad weather that time of night, especially when everyone is asleep.

This is like my biggest fear, people run red lights all the time here in Denver and I’ve already been rear ended once by somebody who assumed I was gonna run the red and tried to run it behind me.

People just don’t pay attention nowadays. The really sad part is today I found out the lady who passed was 90.
