Daaaang!!

Yesterday Mary and I were having dinner at House of Curry on Solano and we saw a woman get hit by a car. It was pretty sad. An old Filipino lady was crossing the crosswalk in front of us then this car driving around 30 miles hits her. She was thrown onto the hood and as the car screeched to a halt she was projected 20 feet in front. Mary called 911 and I went over there but I didn't touch her. Some other lady came and kind of took over. I just helped get all of her groceries off the street. I actually felt silly as I was picking up the cartons of orange juice and other items. I was thinking, "Who cares about these groceries?" I gave a statement to the cops and then we went back to our food.

For some reason even though I was right in front of this accident, it wasn't as chilling as this hit and run I saw a while ago in Alameda. A black Mustang andd a motor cycle were racing down Park Ave, and of course the motorcycle won. As they came to the red light the motor ycle cut in front of the Mustang and the Mustang rear ended the bike. The biker got off the bike super pissed, and ready to fight. He was pretty big too. Then all of a sudden the Mustang peels out and runs the biker over. The biker get flipped 3 times in the air and then falls hard to the ground. Luckily he got up, but he was pretty dazed and humbled. I think that was way more chilling than the accident we saw yesterday. The accident in Alameda wasn't an accident rather vehicular manslaughter. People are crazy. Get well soon Filipino lady.
