Since I'm taking care of Sarah by myself today and tomorrow, I took some time off work yesterday so I could read a comic book and eat some sunflower seeds. Mission accomplished! Then I headed over to pick up Sarah.
As I stopped for a red light on J. Clyde Morris Blvd., a sound and movement caught my eye. The sound was of two white cars smacking one another, the movement was the after effect, where the car in front did a complete 180 degree turn and ended up facing the other car. Drivers came out and looked at their vehicles. The left turn signal that the second car had come through gave way to the regular green and my lane started moving.
Here's what struck me (hm) as odd, though. Less than a minute had passed since the sound of the impact, and as I started up, I could see that a tow truck was already on the scene. Huh?
My best theory is that an accident had already happened and the car from the lane next to mine (car 2) had sailed right into that. Hard to say, though, with any certainty. And by the time Sarah and I drove past the scene, there wasn't any sign of anybody at the intersection. Maybe Rod Serling will come along and explain it.
