Headline: Nothing happened to me or anyone close to me.
( Tales of a Traffic Accident )
I think there was a collision out there last night as well, but I did not go investigate it. There have been numerous accidents at this corner, mostly due to people running the light. Paseo Padre is a high-speed street, with a posted speed limit of 45 but an actual speed much higher, and people run the light there a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the at-fault driver was talking on a cell phone. On my trip to New Jersey a few months ago, I came close to getting totaled -- possibly killed, I'll have to admit -- when I turned against a left-turn light due to distracted driving. And that was with a hands-free headset. Although I can talk on the two-way radio when driving with little problem, something about talking on the phone draws too much bandwidth.
