Last night I was going to a meeting and came upon an accident on the highway. Actually, I came upon all the cars that were backed up from the accident. It took thirty minutes to travel the next half mile, it had occured right before an exit and spanned across the road and on both shoulders. Four or five wreckers (tow-trucks to those of you not from around here) passed us while we waited, and by the time I made it past the scene an ambulance or two had already left and you could see bits of car scattered over a wide area. Over an hour later (as I returned home after my meeting) the freeway was still shut down, they were re-routing traffic around the scene and several police were still there finishing up.
This morning? No mention on the news. Nothing in the paper. It’s like it didn’t happen.
You may start humming the x-files theme or twilite zone theme, readers choice.
update: Charmless found a story about the accident! Yay for them finally filing one (check the time stamp)
