So, my neighbors for two years had to move away last month but come back frequently, they were parked in front of the local store where we all go last Saturday eve and blammo, a gal with a couple drinks under her belt doing 60 in a "45" swerves to miss a local transient on a bicycle. She hit him anyhow and then took a detour through the parking lot of the store and into the back of my freind's car, with the wife and daughter sitting inside waiting. She hits the VW hard and pushes it into the store, where our favorite counter-guy takes a load of glass in the leg from the impact. The VW occupants are OK but a bit shook up. The assitant counter-guy gets pushed aside as my neighbor flies past to check on his family.
Misc. facts: Neighbors foreclosed last month, and sold their other car four days before losing the VW , they could use it back now...Counterguy is an Iranian Christian, father was killed in the nineties by those "other" guys due to religious belief... Neighbor's wife ran for Congress this spring...
SUV driver was airlifted to hospital because the "Life-Flight" service severely needed the revenue (my opinion), then incarcerated and bailed out of jail today...bicyclist was dead a few minutes after impact...and I sat home the entire evening listening to sirens instead of going over there...
A crazy night in the neighborhood. No, nobody was "street-racing".
