The roads were just a tiny bit slippery when I left the house today to take the kids to a friend's house to play. Nothing bad, but last time the roads were slick we saw a dozen or so people off the road, watched one persona lose control and take out a mailbox, so my daughter was concerned. We had not gone more than a few miles when I crested a hill just in time to see a volvo smash into an exterra and send it into someone's front yard. Volvo lady gets out of her car holding her chest and indicated to me that she needed help, exterra lady stayed in her car and was screaming bloody murder. So I called 911 and and asked for an ambulance and got volvo lady to sit in my car instead of running around the yard like Mike the headless chicken. Then exterra lady's mom showed up - wtf? How...?

The whole front of the volvo was smashed in, unrecognizable. She had hit the back/side of the exterra, which was coming from the other direction but lost control on a curve and had spun around backwards into her lane. The passenger airbag in the volvo went off, the driver side did not, and the driver complained of chest pain from hitting the steering wheel. Exterra lady had a broken leg/ankle and a severe enough head injury that she didn't recognize her mother.

So, we finally get volvo lady out of my car and get on our way and my daughter says "I knew we were gonna see an accident today, I just didn't think we'd have to sit there so long".
