Thursday – 30/10/3014 – The Café's Ready and Willing on Mischief Night!

OMG, was just sitting at laptop surfing when I heard, through closed widow, a huge crash. Dorry jumped, as did I. Car crash, one car completely totaled, front door smashed like accordian. At least peeps were on scene immediately, some directing traffic, others going to aid. Opening window heard that someone is very badly injured, I can only imagine. Finally police, ambulance and fire dept have arrived. Hope that injured person will be OK. And of course there are the usual amount of gawkers, including one woman in bathrobe and it’s way cold out, and someone taking pics with cell, don’t want to judge, perhaps for insurance purposes. Does not look good as fire dept seems to be getting out tools to take car apart as they cannot get injured person out. Scary how these things can suddenly happen seemingly out of nowhere. Blessings that person makes it and that injury is not life threatening.

I’m high up as top floor, sound travels, but this is big accident, person still not out of car as yet. Why hordes of people have to stand around and watch is beyond me, yes I am looking to see if person is rescued soon, but I am not on site in the way of first responders. Finally got person out of car and into ambulance, looks like injury is quite severe. Car of course is for the scrap heap. Street is badly lit, but reminds me to take care even when walking at night.
Mentioned this some time back, but when I was 7 was in country and leg was gored open by beautiful white feral with suspected rabies as attacked 2 other peeps. Never mind tetanus shots I had to have treatment at the time as 21 anti-rabies shots in stomach as “precaution”. Plus stay in hptl for “watching”. Eventually they were running out of room on my tiny stomach, and aiming towards bikini line, very not fun. Nowadays think it’s a one-shot deal. And yet, did not keep me from becoming kit-lover, big time!
