intersection that goes to edgemont blvd on shaganappi..... a ford dually truck ran into a street lamp. it looked like the street lamp was going to fall over or something. it was pretty earily in the morning.

I just saw a different accident on John Laurie an hour ago. I was stopped at a redlight on John Laurie between hawkwood and ranch lands, when a corolla stops while making a right turn. There was a Jeep right behind it and I guess he didnt stop in time. THUD, it was a pretty low speed accident, but I was surprised at how much damage there was- the corolla's whole rear bumper and trunk were pretty badly damaged (probably will need a whole new trunk, bumper, rear fenders), and i couldnt see the damage to the jeep from the angle I was at.

Oh and one of those little transit bus was passing by, and the driver decided to stop the bus right on john Laurie (blocking a lane) and got out with a pen and ran over probably to sign as a witness or something.
Anyways, the point of the story is: watch where you drive.

I saw it! Man good thing whoever was driving the f350 was in an f350 or it could have been a different story for them. The light post was on a crazy lean as well, looked wierd.

Yeah I saw that on the way down the hill ,they had the cranes there fixing the lightpole, and all these flashing lights going.

Leaving the Dalhousie Canadian Tire, I saw the two tow trucks with the black truck (the bed was all twisted to hell) and the caravan (passenger side bashed in) followed by two white pickups going southbound Shagannapi. Brutal looking impact.

My girlfriend knew a passenger in the truck....

She was in the hospital last night with a some liver damage.

Hope she's ok. She's known her since they were little.

i hope everyone involved makes it ok.

comming home from school yesterday i did not see the light pole anymore. i think they must have removed it....... the light pole looked like it was going to fall over and take out some cars in the process.
