near death experience

Now in other news. I was almost killed the other night while walking my dog. I had been going up this main street and I stopped so my dog can do his business, when I hear this car grumbling down the street. I saw the car and it was barreling down a residential street at about 60mph. I'm thinking, I hope he can brake in time, but before I even finish that thought, the car hit the curb, then jumped the street towards me and my dog. I saw a persons head out the passenger window, then I yank the leash and we begin to run out of the way, After taking no more than about 4 or 5 steps, i hear the finally CRASH! BANG! I turn around, and the car has hit the light pole which was subsequently knocked over and then out came this girl screaming PLEASE HELP! She then sat down on the sidewalk, as neighbors began coming out. The car was blaring music and all the girl could say was that she was not on drugs and that she was looking around for a cd.

Turns out she had just left her parents house a few blocks away and basically she was retarded in that she was hunting around her glove and floor for a cd while speeding down a residential street, not wearing a seat belt, and who knows what else. But that was her story. Her car was completely totaled. I didnt get a look at it, but it looked like an american car. She is 20 years old.

This was my first time I actually witnessed a pretty bad accident first hand. I had always wondered what it'd be like to see an accident. And damn, it sucked. But I'm glad that everyone was ok, especially me and my dog.

One thing to note was that just before she came down the street, there was this porsche just sitting there at the intersection just revving his engine for like 30 seconds. And so when he took off I had assumed the other car coming full blast was a friend of his and he was waiting for it to come. But that obviously wasn't the case since after the accident occured he was long gone and didn't come back. I thought that was weird, but when I look back, I probably would not have survived because had I not been already looking in that direction I probably wouldn't have seen the car hit the curb and come towards us. It was real quick too. Very scary.
