Okies.... heres one fer y'all. A semi merging from one expressway to another had a re-tread come off causeing him to lose control. The semi jackknifed seperating the trailer from the cab. The cab rolled 3 times and wound up on a car. The trailer rolled over on its side, slid across 2 lanes of traffic and pinned a car against the concrete divider. The police and ambulances got there found not one person had more than a few minor injuries. The tow truck was uprighting the trailer and found a car underneath it. The rescue crew found a man unconscience, cut him out, rushed him to the hospital. To the doctors suprise they couldn't find anything wrong but a mild concussion. The guy awoke shortly there after with only a headache and was released the next day. A news crew reporting from the site the next day was hit from behind in the same spot at the accident the day before. They were hit by the police car that was behind them (with lights flashing), that in turn had been hit by a car that had a blowout on its front tire and lost control. The tire that blew on the car was the same as the one that had blown a day earlier on the semi. Again not one person was injured! MORAL: If you're going to watch the news, listen! Lol, I didn't catch where this was and I sure the hell would like to avoid this intersection!!! ;-D
