the worst thing ive ever witnessed.... I was going to my gf's house last night, and instead of taking the rock road that leads to her driveway, we decided to go through the neighborhood that also leads to her driveway. As we approach the neighborhood we witnessed a wreck. Theres a tight turn just on the other side of the neighborhood entrance. There was a car coming around that corner in our lane headed right for us, and nailed the little red car in front of me head on. The "faulty" car hit so hard it stood up on its front bumper just before it spun 360degrees and slid off the road. The little red car in front of me spun 180degrees and was facing us. I stopped and parked the car(rear end on the road, front end in the grass) I grabbed my flashlight and joined a couple other guys trying to help the family in the red car. We saw that there was a truck coming up behind my car and wasn't slowing down. 4 guys on the road with flashlights trying to slow down traffic and two cars on the side of the road all messed up and for some reason a full size pick up pulling a full size flat bed trailer haul ass through the center of this scene @40 mph running over all the debris in the road. Right after he went through, another did the same thing. Then had the nerve to come back and go through the neighborhood where i was about to turn.
In the red car, there was a 12yr old boy laying down in the back seat, an 18yr old in the front passenger seat, and their mom was driving.
When I got to the red car, the boy that was in the back seat was laying on the dash, pinning his brother between him and the dash. Their mother was pinned against the steering wheel. The driver of the other car said he couldn't feel his legs, and was bleeding from his head and mouth. The oncoming car hit the red one so hard it ripped pieces off of both cars laying them all over the road and ditch. The cars were so torn up in the front you couldn't tell what kind of cars they were. After seeing them from the back, I had to tell this story. BOTH CARS WERE SATURNS.
Scared the hell out of me b/c if it hadn't been the red car in front of me, it would have been me.
The family in front of me was just on their way home from the kids baseball games. All this family wanted to do was go home and enjoy the rest of the night. Instead, they spent the night in the hospital b/c some stupid **** was driving too fast and couldn't keep his car on the road. I didn't find out if they faulty driver was drinking or was intoxicated, but nevertheless, it was his fault and if he survives, hes goin down for it.
The point of this is simple...SLOW DOWN... theres no reason for anyone to be driving that fast, especially down a dim, curvy road. Keep it legal. Be safe, and most of all SLOW DOWN.
