I heard another crash and lots of scraping, causing me to jump on my desk again to look out the window. All I could see was a State Trooper next to our side of the road. I went to another window and saw a person down. Of course, I had to go see who it was. It could have been one of many people that work in my office that walk this street on a daily basis. A guy ran a red light and hit a trash can causing him to lose control of his vehicle. He hit a store sign and 2 people. He knocked a guy into the store, and the woman was on the hood. She fell off right in front of my building. The driver rode the side walk between the trees and our building until his car stopped. He was wedged in. They took the girl and guy (who work in my building and are engaged to be married) to the hospital. The girl's mother was with them as well, but she did not get hit. They had to pull the car out with a wench, and finally got the guy out. He was from out of state (IL) and had a beer in his cupholder and a gun in his seat. Our street sure sees a lot of action.
Oh my word, that could have been me!!
Scary! You guys should move up to Jersey where rednecks don't drive drunk in the daytime with a beer in their cupholder.
That's what she said.
