On a side note how does 100 cars pile into one big ass accident. I know my weed is good but I really want what these stupid are smoking...
Many moons ago,
I was heading to my fishing camp (a.k.a. CampNutty) in upstate NY for a Steelhead Fishing Trip on a Lake Ontario trib.
Heading up I81 North - about 10 miles south of Syracuse,
Cold February day - snow sleet, freezing rain..
I could tell that the road surface was going to ****, and slowed down accordingly- as did all the traffic behind me. I was "lead dog" in a long vehicle caravan.
As I approached the overpass, I can see that the bridge surface was an ice skating rink -all shined up with black ice. I was doing 40 mph and intended to “coast” across that overpass.
All of a sudden – a station wagon with an Ass-wipe at the wheel – breaks from the single file caravan behind me – and is now in left lane – approaching to pass me (I was watching this in my rear view mirror) – as I white knuckled the steering wheel to keep my vehicle straight & stable on the icy bridge.
In the blink of an eye - As Swipe was on my rear corner panel,- I was watching via my drover'ssidee mirror. I was looking ahead, I was looking at my rear-view mirror – several semi trucks are now in left lane -appeared they are going to follow Ass-wipes lead to start passing traffic.
I saw Ass-Wipe fishtail his car (most likely die to accelerating on black ice!!!
His car kicked out – slamming the bridge abutment like a pinball machine, then spun 360 and slammed bridge abutment again.. Then – I saw the first semi – jack knifing, and a second semi, slamming into the Ass-wipe's car, and so on and so on. I was watching a multi vehicle pileup in motion..
The trippy part was – I saw it all in my rear view mirror!!
I thought I was watching an Alfred Hitchcock Movie.
I continued to hold steering wheel straight and coasted to end of overpass.. The bridge behind was clogged by wrecked vehicles piling up!! It was like watching a movie..
I slowed to about 10 mph, called 911, and reported the accident with injuries.. The 911 operator asked if I stopped to assist.
I explained HELL NO. I ain’t getting out of my vehicle to possibly get killed by out of control vehicles- after explaining what transpired & the fact I watched via rear-view mirror.
A couple hours later I arrive at camp, get settled in and turn on radio.
The newscast came on – reporting a 45 car pileup on Interstate 81 north near Syracuse.
5 dead. Tragic accident blamed on black ice.
Moral to this story:
1) You never know when your # is up. If I was a few cars back in line, I would have been caught up in the accident and possibly killed.
2) Ass-Wipe missed taking me out by 1 – 2 feet. What a freaking Ass-Wipe. Never knew if he died in the accident he caused, but I shed no tears because the MoFo tried to kill me via impatient stupidity.
3) The news station talking head explained the accident was caused by black ice.. NOT – The accident was caused by an Ass-Wipe going too fast for conditions.
SLOW DOWN – SAVE LIVES -INCLUDING YOUR OWN
and
SMOKE em if ya GOTTUM.
