WRECK

Dallas, TX

Seemed like a day for traffic accidents. Saw this one on my way to work...there were two other cars on the opposite side of the street. One that was lodged between a fence and house and another one backwards on the curb. I'm betting the guy in this car had to use that coin laundry to clean his pants after this one. There were five more that I counted on the way back to Fort Worth tonight so traffic pretty much sucked! But, I got home without any mishaps, thankfully!

I have a face to face interview in Nashville in another week or so. I've been busy all night gathering references. And, I've had a busy day so I'll catch up on comments tomorrow.

I just did 500 miles today, one accident, but I did meet a BBQ stove on the road, luckely I was able cross the lane, but I'm sure an accident was coming. / minutes later, met a police car with sirens! I guess the BBQ stove is in pieces now! I like the processing, the red really pops out. Vµ

It's sobering just to see this kind of thing, and certainly makes me try to take more care. Hope everyone was OK. Great catch, Cindi.

Is that a NY plate on that car? Probably - NYers don't know how to drive anymore :-)

I hope no-one was seriously injured. A terrific journalistic photo with the fire engine, the policeman and and the police motorcycle. Hope your interview goes well. V

That is NO way to start the weekend.

somedays it's like a plague on city streets, with too many drivers dashing about heedless of others and conditions...a sobering scene well portrayed..V
