Well, I decided to head home a little early on Friday, I wasn’t getting much done anyways at work. As the bus tried to turn onto Pine, we saw a police vehicle blocking the way. The driver opened the door and asked what was going on, and the officer explained there was a pretty big wreck up ahead. We got off the bus and I started walking home to see police cars, fire trucks, and indeed a very bad wreck up ahead.
The ambulances, if there were any injuries, had already left, so I figured it had happened at least 10-20 minutes before I got there (around 4:50). I grabbed my camera and snapped a few photos.
View of the full scene.
Closer view – one of my better photographs, IMO.
Another close up.
Obviously, I didn’t want to get in anyone’s way so I took all my photographs from across the street, but it was pretty obvious what happened here. A taxi plowed straight into a white BMW. It seems likely someone was speeding, and someone else wasn’t paying attention. The taxi hit the BMW with enough force to drive it off hte road and onto the sidewalk, where it hit a telephone pole. I wouldn’t make any guesses about fault or what happened beyond that, however, since I didn’t actually see it, nor was I able to ask anyone what happened.
