[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 6274457, member: 32740"] Fatality car accident. A lane that joins the freeway, running parallel, and lets drivers merge onto the freeway and off of the freeway and then seperates again. Other driver fell asleep at the wheel, hit the divider between that merging lane and the freeway lane I was in (and was probably dead from that impact), her car then spun across the freeway lanes. First bounced off the right front corner of the truck I was driving - and I was standing on the brakes and swerving hard left trying to get out of the way - then kinda did a pinball thing off another car or two and ended up back in front of my truck again and crushed. At least that's the best recollection I have of it - and that's kinda reassembled from what I thought I remembered and what the police said happened. I didn't remember that first impact with my truck right after the accident. Police kept asking me about it which I thought was wierd. Only later realized they were right and started to remember that part of it happening. Never will need to convince me that eyewitness accounts are NOT reliable. Just remembered another one I'd managed to forget. My mother almost drowned in Hawaii. A place known as Big Beach/Makena Beach on Maui. Large waves, lots of fun for body surfing. She had been swimming out past the break and the waves started getting bigger. She started getting tired and knew she HAD to come in. Got rolled badly by a couple big waves and most of the family had started to notice. She had barely gained her feet and had barely managed to get a desperate breath. Her back was to the ocean when we saw a wave peaking ABOVE her head behind her. Screamed at her to turn and dive into it but she couldn't do a thing but try to suck air. My brother and I started for her at a dead run. She got slammed down hard again by the wave and we dragged her out between us. She said later that was the last gasp. Had we not got to her RIGHT THEN, she'd have been unconscious and drowned in the surf. Oh and as we pulled her out my brother slashed open his heel on a big piece of metal that had been buried in the shore. Anyway, shortly after the freeway accident I quit my driving job, moved out of state, and started doing something ENTIRELY different for a living. I'd been living in fear of just that sort of uncontrolled event happening to me for years as traffic in and around the area where I lived/worked got clearly and steadily worse. Had some close calls, and saw lots more bad accidents happen around me. Cars, poles, pedestrians... Defensive driving will only get you so far. Safety practices will only prevent so much.
