20 Aug 03 A brush with death's second cousin, scared shitless…

I had a brush with possible death today. So there I am sitting in the east bound turning lane on the corner of John Young and Sand Lake Rd. Now if any of you are familiar with this intersection you know that there is a dual turning lane onto Sand Lake, I am in the right hand turn lane. So I'm waiting to go and I look over at the girl next to me and she is jamming out to some unheard tune. The green arrow lights up and we proceed forward, the girl is a little slow on the gas and is behind a bit. Well in mid-turn I look to my left and see that some possibly high truck driver has forgotten that red means stop and is headed straight at me, so I hit the accelerator and speed out of harms way. The girl in the next lane over was not so lucky. I watched in my mirror as the semi-truck plowed straight into the side of the girls car. Me, being in a state of shock, proceeded on my way to Lowes to buy an A/C filter. Now I feel like I should have stopped and made sure the girl was okay and give a statement to the authorities that the truck did in fact run the red light. Well, I can only hope that the girl is all right and that there were plenty of other witnesses that will let the police know what happened. Yikes!

Life is short.

Live it.

Love it.

Make it yours.
