This is an image I wish I didn’t have the opportunity to create today. I was on my way to go pick up my kids from the babysitter after work and this accident happened right in front of me. When I saw right in front of me…I mean RIGHT in front of me. I was the first car at the red light waiting for green to go across the intersection. I saw the white car waiting to make a left hand turn towards me. The light was yellow and this kid turned directly into the gray Jetta that you see completely mangled. Their collision made the Jetta turn side ways only to get nailed by a huge drywall delivery truck probably at 45-55 mph. The Jetta was hit so hard that the dipstick flew out of the engine. It had side curtain airbags, and apparently the woman driving the Jetta’s teenage son was in the passenger seat. He was completely fine, but the driver was not. When some people went to check on her (I was checking on the driver in the white car) she basically fell out of the car in pain. the ambulance came and took her away. She looked to be in a lot of pain when they took her away.I was luckily not involved other than to witness it, but the white car you see in the picture, is sitting less than a foot away from my bumper. Lots and lots of shrapnel from it hit me but there was no damage. Very scary to see a car out of control headed for you!
