WRECK FIXIN' TO HAPPEN, AS WE SAY IN TEXAS

Dallas, TX

Okay the car on the left went from my lane right into the other lane where the white car is. Neither driver was paying any attention. I got the camera and took this shot right before they hit and at that point I had to pay attention to what was going on around me. I didn't want to cause or be in an accident myself. I had slowed down when I saw this starting to unfold and no one else was around me. Got off one shot. When they hit the white car actually went up on the two right wheels and then came down again. Neither looked like it had a ton of damage but both were blaming each other. The car on the left was actually in the wrong...no signal and pulled right in front of the white Honda and clipped her. So, I told them I got one picture...don't know if it will help but who knows.

Amazing control Cindi, to get this shot and stay clear of the mayhem. Well done.

Great capture Cindi and great move not being another wreck! It's too bad folks are not more courteous and aware when they drive.
