it was about 1:30, i had just not kissed melody good night and crawled into my bed when, through the window i keep open because of the heat i heard a loud screech, then a huge crash. oops. a car hit something. not ten seconds went by and i heard a cop siren blare. so i threw on some clothes and went to investigate. (this is where the map comes in). i walked down my street to look around at the end of the block. nothing. i walked up and then over to roots road, which is the “up only” line, it is also a hill that i am at the bottom of. as i walk closer to roots, i see one cop car drive slowly by with lights, then one without. both going down. i get to the end and look towards where the cops went. just lots of flashing. so i decided to walk back to the first vantage point to see if i can see it now, mostly because i had seen an ambulance and a fire truck pass that way on the walk down the block.
what seems to have happened, with only a few minutes watch from a distance of a block, is a car went out of control, ran the stop sign at the T and into the house that sits opposite the T. my brain tells me that it wasn’t a drunk, no, but it was someone that passed out, or had an attack of some sort, and was unconscious so they couldn’t stop. maybe it’ll be in the papers.
