Morning drama

[jbsegal]

In different news, I was pulling up to the light at Highland when I got to witness a car-flipping t-bone. Someone coming up Willow the other way blew through the light and rammed someone else. The rammed vhicle ended up on the sidewalk outside the corner store, upside down, just touching the window. Noone was seriously hurt, amazingly enough. The store window didn't break.

The cops had already been called by the time I got through on 911 (within 45sec), and within 3m there were 3-4 cop cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance.

It was an small-suv vs small-suv accident, which probably explains why they both made it out ok.

The driver who was hit was helped out of the vehicle by onlookers...I'm
guessing she was already removing herself by the time got up to
her, so I wasn't too worried about neck/back injuries.

The guy who hit her had NY plates and an SUV full of stuff... I'd have to guess he was moving in our out of someplace.

I left my name and number with the cops and continued on my way.

I've heard nothing from them yet.

That'll wake you up in the morning.

(If anyone sees any local news coverage of what happened, I'd like to know...)

even with the tendency of SUV's to roll over, i'm impressed that this accident managed a rolled-over vehicle -- it's fairly straight, but it's still a narrow side-street.
