As I was driving home from the gym, there were all these police cars with flashing lights passing me. And a fire truck went roaring by as well. When I got home there were flashing lights everywhere about a half block away. I went to check it out. This is the second time in the last couple of months that I have come home minutes after a serious accident almost, but not quite, in front of my house.
I don't quite understand how it got upside down. It obviously got hit on the side you can see. The car was pointed in the wrong direction, but otherwise was not at an angle. It was lined up with traffic, just pointed the wrong way. The cops asked me if a Jeep that was parked on the side was mine, so they must have thought that car was somehow involved. It looked just like another parked car to me. The ambulance was just sitting there, so the driver must not have been hurt, or else another ambulance must have already left. (Update: A neighbor said she heard a terrible sound, and it took a while before any emergency vehicles showed up. Then she saw them putting someone on a stretcher into an ambulance, which left. That had to be the red car's driver)
I didn't want to get any closer to get better pictures because I was afraid the cops would tell me I wasn't allowed to take pics, or try to take my camera. I turned off the flash for that reason. More pics on flickr.

The only way you can flip a car is driving too fast. I had a neighbor lady T bone me in the Element as I pulled in my driveway a few years ago. After hitting me, she flipped her car right ( right before my eyes) and landed on top of Ty's car parked at the edge of our driveway. She definitly had some good speed to do all those tricks!
Was this AM or PM? I saw every cop in E-town screaming into the hospital parking lot yesterday morning.
PM, so it must not have been the same accident. This one probably happened at 11:15 ish PM, I'm guessing. I wonder what was going on in the AM?
