I finally convicted my hermit friend to get out of his house for the weekend yesterday. We were driving east on #1 hwy Canada, about 30 km away from Kenora Ontario, two semi trucks hit head on with a small car in between them. We were about 3 km behind when we heard the explosion. From what we saw, there were no survivors. The highway at that point is a two way street. There is no other way around at that point.
The coincidental part is that we had a 10 minute delay while leaving, If we did not have that delay we could have been that car getting blown to shit 10 minutes down the road.

Isn't it strange how some things work out in this world? Any tragedy happening to anyone is sad, but at least you and your friend are alright.
All we can really do in the end (besides locking ourselves in our houses) is to take care with everything we do each day, try not to be reckless..
Anyways, I'm glad you are all right

I look in my rearview mirror and a motocyclists BOUNCES off the side of a car. The dude just bounced off and the car swirved and barely missed going over the dude. Crazy shit we see these days, wow.

Wow. Good thing you and your friend were ok. I was in an accident myself yesterday, not nearly as bad as that one.
Crazy..

This reminds me of being out in Colorado this past spring. A friend and I were driving into Fort Collins for food and water, we were living out of a cabin in the Poudre Canyon, we turned onto Highway 41 and with in seconds ran into a Sheriff with his lights on, on the rest of the drive we started to see fire trucks, ambulances, cops, ect. in very large numbers. Well we got our supply's and on the way back on that intersection were 2 badly damaged cars. The police had only one lane of traffic moving, we had to of missed that accident by moments, in fact I am quit sure I could of watched it in my rear view mirror had I been paying attention. One care was burning and must of just been put out, on our way by I seen two badly burned bodies, one still in the car, one being removed. There was another body in the back ground with a sheet over it getting pushed off from the other vehicle, I can see that picture in my head perfectly right now.
We never heard anymore about it other than what we saw, we were pretty isolated up in that caynon but a few days later we seen a very large Mexican family putting up a memorial in the grass in the median of the intersection.

That reminds me of this one time I was on my way to work. It was maybe 4:30am and I was changing freeways and in the little breakdown lane area between the one freeway and the off-ramp to the other freeway there was this car merrily burning away. No one else on the scene and the car was about halfway burnt out, it had been burning for awhile it seems. No police, firemen, no people nearby, nothing. Very surreal.

Hey Adom, I grew up in Fort Collins. I've seen a bunch of accidents up the Poudre Canyon, kinda suprising actually. Sorry you had to see that.
Couple months ago in Denver, I saw a horrible hit and run. All throughout Denver right now they're doing a multi-billion dollar construction project, so there is make shift sections of highways everywhere. Anyway, I saw a Dodge ram 1500 slam into the back of a guy on a motorcycle. It was right behind me. There were sparks and smoke everywhere and it looked like the highway scene in Matrix II, cars swerving every which way. The guy on the motorcycle got flipped into the air and landed on the highway and started rolling, came to a stop and his bike hit him on the legs. I don't remember seeing a helmet either. Then I saw the fucking truck take off and take an off ramp and was gone. Couldn't believe it. Never did find out what happened to the guy on the bike or the truck.
Accidents suck, hit and runs are worse.
