I usually don't make too much of the passing parade of car wrecks littering the north and south bound lanes of the interstate on a daily basis. It is just another experience on my commutes. Generally, I see wrecks, a few of which you would wonder how the folks walked away from, but those are really just a testament to the automotive engineering that has been accomplished in the last couple of decades. Today on my way home, there were three wrecks, spread out over the 35 or so miles that I travel back and forth on the Interstate daily. I know where the pot holes are, where the expansion joints need to be repaired, and where the traffic will stop for absolutely NO reason at all. The first of this afternoon's wrecks was nothing spectacular, but it was bothersome. Pretty close to the center of town, too much traffic, too close to run hour for it to be anything but a pain. The second wreck (the sandwich wreck I referred to on Facebook) was on the left side of the road, two trucks with a pick-up sandwiched between them. I took photos as I am won't to do, but the occupants were all outside the vehicles exchanging information. The third wreck was the bad one. There was a fatality. There was a whole platoon of emergency vehicles. A car carrying three people left the Interstate, went airborne and ended up in Berry Creek that, at one point north of Georgetown and south of Walburg, goes under the Interstate. I saw one of the emergency workers giving CPR to one of the victims.It was terrible. It was awful.
Just be careful out there, and leave a little bit earlier so you won't be in such a hurry.
