Comments
I drove through the intersection immediately after the accident occurred before any emergency services arrived. There were some people not Police or EMS attempting a rescue at the drivers door of the silver car. The SUV was unattended setting where the photos shows it up on the curb and crashed. Puzzling to me is why people drive their vehicle like it is a rocket no slowing down, no veering over and no courtesy. It is like some drivers want to have an accident perhaps for a n insurance payout. Those uncourtous drivers apparently are unaware that a 20 MPH crash can end their life. It is past time for drivers to get out of their me first attitude. Having the right of way does not mean it's safe to drive like an idiot.
