Funny thing, most accidents you can more or less guess what happened. But sometimes the aftermath offers so many possibilities.
On the way home today, traffic suddenly slammed to a stop and everyone started leaving the highway. Since eye level for me is about 48" off the roadway, I've got no idea what's happening.
Once we got around I saw the cause. There's a Ford F250 four door long bed pickup perpendicular across three lanes. Clever. What's even better is that the front driver's side corner has a Prius stuck in it. The rear driver's side corner has a Cox van stuck in it.
There are two possibilities I could see. Somehow he spun out, and the two cars in the adjoining lanes each caught a corner. This would be surprising, since I would think the pickup would roll - he was fairly tall.
The other thing I could see is the van catching the back corner, the truck slamming on the brakes, that forcing it around a bit, then the Prius popping into the front corner. Still seems unlikely.
Either way, the incident will be screwing up tonight's commute.
