Sounds odd, but we witnessed an accident today. There was a green plastic storage tote sitting in the middle of the highway: car one sees it and swerves around it. Car two sees it, and swerves, but due to reaction time is a little closer before he moves. Truck 3 sees it, swerves sharply, misses it....car four, behind truck 3, cannot see the previous vehicles swerving and knows nothing until the truck darts out of the way. The young lady driving swerves, manages to miss the tote, but loses control of her car and does a slow 180 across two lanes of traffic, onto the shoulder (still marshy and damp from the rain/mist of the past two days), and clobbers one leg of a road-side sign. We pull over, along with two or three other vehicles, and run over. She's fine, just a little scared. I ran up, got traffic to stop long enough to get the tote out of the road, then two or three of us worked at getting her car out of the mud (several others, teenagers, stood around not wanting to get dirty. Slackers.). Cop finally got there (no injuries, no road blockage, so no rush, I guess), stopped traffic, and we got her out on the road and turned around facing the right way. All in all, probably the all-time best possible outcome of a potentially lethal situation. And heck, it always feels good to help someone out, ya know?
