Default Good Lord....

I just went to the grocery store by my house...a semi truck plowed into the rear end of an apparently stopped car (only way it coulda happened). The rear end of the car is smashed into the firewall and there was blood streaking down the hood...I passed it after they'd gotten the ppl out of it though...don't know how they did it.

What's sad is there is at least a few fatal accidents at this intersection every year. Very sad.

wow...I thought it was YOU who'd gotten hit at first! At any rate, that's horrible. Maybe you could get some people together to lobby your city for some kind of change?

not nessisarily that accident, but if there are a few fatal accidents there each year, than something is wrong, because its not normal for a FEW fatal accidents a year a just one intersection

Yea I hate how cities don't do jack about fixing shiz like that.

Near where I live, in La Jolla, California (It's San Diego, but the rich people there wanted to call it their own city...) there is this wood gaurd rail right next to a cliff. For years, people living in that area made complaints that it should be replaced with a metal one. Last weekend, a 16 yr old girl was driving and I don't know exactly what happened, the car went off the cliff and she died. There were 3 other people in the car, but they managed to get out. The girl didn't make it out.

wow... a wood gaurd rail, that is sure to stop a 2500+lbs car , it would have to be at least as thick as a telephone poll, and stuck 4 feet in the ground adn even then it would just split the car in half and kill everyone anyways
