it's all over the news, so it was pretty ugly? I don't know what it happened but they said it would likely be closed until the drive home.

Radio said a car hit a sanding truck?

The driver of the small car was a woman.

I have to say the worst accident I ever saw was in Kentucky. A semi driver was outside of his truck making a minor repair, anther truck hit him and the semi driver was decapitated. It was the 70's when everyone had CB's and my parents got the heads to anyone coming up on it to get their kids to look away...of course like the dumb ass I was, I looked. I can still close my eyes and see it.

It is traumatizing, just take it easy if you can work if you can.

shit man, its very sad.

worst accident i saw was like 1992 i was 8 and it was my weekly friday trip to toys r' us with my parents in england.

It was like a 4car pile up on the m4 can't remember many details but i remember bloody limbs...and like kritafo i can still see it.

Worst accident I ever saw was between a motorhome and a semi. The motorhome was literally missing the entire driver's side, and you could see right inside it. No way the driver survived it - nor anyone who might have been on the driver side in the back either.

Saw it before EMS came , fucking horrible. I saw 3 accidents today , people need to wake the fuck up and learn to drive.

Is it wrong I chuckled at your poor choice of words?

I've never seen anything bad as far as car accidents go... but I was 3rd on scene at a helicopter crash... that ones still bugging me, 11 years later.

I'm guessing the truck was following too closely.

Out on the roads yesterday I saw people following closely behind other cars like the roads were dry and that they could stop on a dime - what is even the point when you're in traffic anyways and not going to get there any faster?

OK well now a girl from our office is missing. She drives the same color Neon and lives close to there. She didn't show up at work and isn't picking up her phone. The only thing is, she should have been eastbound to go to work and this was westbound. We are still trying to find her.

Oh shit man... that's scary. Keep us updated!

^^ I saw 3 accidents today... All could be avoided.. My gf said she saw one happen right behind her on highway 8 and 69th street , some new audi suv got its bumper ripped right off.... I mean the roads arent even that bad , it took me over 2 hours to get to work today.. .. I need a helicopter.

Was aboutto say the same thing. I heard a lot of emergency vehicles when I woke up at 6:45. Took me an hour to get from 90th ave 14st passed glenmore, it was a mess. No idea what was the problem until I got there and saw all the cop cars and put it all together.

There wasn't really any eastbound traffic.
Hopefully it wasn't her.

[Kritafo]

ohh really, I really hope it's not the girl from your office.

you will have to keep us posted. I just have one thing to add, another Gravel truck incident. Wonder who was at fault. Details will be interesting.
