I was on the 110 which is one of the oldest highways in California. You can tell it's old because it's extremely windy and the speed signs all say 45 mph, obviously not designed for today's cars. Anyway, I tend to drive pretty fast down that freeway because its fun and I've got a car that handles like a go-cart. I don't go TOO fast, like 70 or 75 at the most (which is the speed limit on all freeways out here) and I don't cut people off or 'force' them to go too fast becuase it is a bit scary on that road.
Anyway, one night I'm driving home from work (about 11pm) and doing my usual going pretty fast. I guess I pissed off some guy in a Camero because apparently he wanted to race (which I NEVER do anymore because I'm not a fucking moron). So he's going easily 80-90 mph and he's just whipping around the corners. Well he gets into traffic and slows down for a bit and I'm in a lane with no traffic so I pass him. Traffic lets up and he starts flying again, he gets to one turn, somehow manages to swerve from the left most lane across 3 lanes and hit the railing 20 feet in front of me.
Problem with this railing is that it's pretty low, and on the other side of the freeway is the Los Angeles river bed...with no water in it So he hits the rail, completely flips over, knocks down the protective chain fence and plummets a good 50-60 feet down into the sement ravine. Most fucked up thing I've ever seen. |
....holy SHIT, dude. I know I woulda freaked the fuck out if I woulda seen that shit.

Me, my wife, and her friend are driving to downtown Dallas to go clubbing on night; it's approximately 11:30p. We are for the most part alone on 183 as we head towards 35. About a mile ahead the highway forks and we need to be in the lane to our right in order to follow the fork downtown. At this point I notice that there is a pick-up truck kind of in my blind spot, so being the nice guy that I am I slow down a bit so that he can pass me and I can merge over. Well he slows down too. So I start to speed up a bit so I can pass him and get over, well he speeds up too. At this point I look at the driver and it's a young kid laughing, prolly thinks we are a car full of girls because my wife and Amanda are sitting on that side of the car (and also because I look like a woman). So I say alright dude I'll holler at you; drop it to third, dust him off, and merge over. So he is still playing games and floors it, pulls up on my left side, matches speeds with me, and then swerves at me HARD like he is going to hit me. Well when idiot jerked his wheel back to avoid hitting me, he loses his back-end and starts to fishtail. We are probably going 65-70 at this point. On his left is the concrete barrier, me to his right, and then two other empty lanes. I immediately hit the brakes when I see him lose control, he fishtails back and forth three or four times and then completely shoots across all four lanes, about 2 car lengths in front of me. Still travelling forward, he goes down into a small ditch and I pass him on the left. Out of my peripheral vision, I see the truck flipping over and rolling at least two times. Dirt and glass is flying in the air, it happened so quickly and it was so surreal but, I can still remember seeing the chunks of sod and glass flying thru the air against the backlight of a car dealership or something. So I pull over to the right and tell my wife to dial 911 and I get out to run back to the truck. I can see that two other cars have already pulled over to assist so I just get back in the car and we continue back on our clubbing adventure. I doubt that driver wanted to see me anyway after his stupid antics.
I just remember how quickly everything happened and how dreamlike it was, and also how UNBELIEVABLY shakey I was after it happened. I was so affected you would have thought I was the one that did the tumbling.
