Emergency Vehicle Responding to accident |
The road was collapsing from three full lanes of rush hour traffic down to one lane just getting by on the shoulder.
It was refreshing to see how the cars parted on the traffic clogged highway to let the emergency vehicles by to get to the scene. Although, the vehicles had to come through the very middle of the clogged traffic.

Traffic as the Ambulance went by |
And even more refreshing was the way everyone came together so that we could snake by the accident. I maintained my mantra that drivers need to drive while passing the scene and so except for seeing the vehicle, I did not ascertain the extent of injuries to those involved. I needed to keep alert so as not to become involved in a secondary incident, especially since a large fire truck was ensuring that all of the travel lanes were closed and that the only way past the accident was on the shoulder.
Although it delayed my drive home, I was reminded that someone was having a very bad day, and but, by the grace of God, it was not me!
I prayed that they were OK and I proceeded safely on my journey home.
