Default OT- Crazy Day

So there I am driving along the hiway in our lovely cold weather ( -20 C ) And I see the wall of taillights up ahead. So I slow down and then I see the firetrucks and ambulances etc...

I am on a 6 lane hiway divided by a Metre wide 3 metres high cement wall... slowly driving by a bad accident on the other side... 2 small compact cars and a 18 wheeler truck. Well they are getting ready to pull one of the cars out from underneigh the transport truck. On the other side there is not really any stopped traffic because there is another accident further on down... WEll anyways it opens up and all the cars and trucks race down...

I am still inching along on the other side almost past the neck cranckers... And well its a blur but the next thing I know. ( about 30 metres up from the other accident ) A transport truck smashes into the concrete divider ( on the other side ) and just blows up... ( there is a van caught inbetween all this ) The wall smashes apart and huge chunck of concrete come flying across taking out the car infront of me and 2 other cars... they wipe out then the front of the truck falls back to earth and lands about 10 metres infront of my car.... Just at that moment a part of the truck goes under my car and some how cuts my belt so I lose all power to the cars steering ac etc... Which causes my car to start to overheat... so I am now toast with a horrible accident all around me.... Trapped on the hiway for 6 hours..... -20 C.... Good thing is that noone died. And most of the injuries were minor.

Well that is my crazy day.

I hope yours was better.

You have my sympathies.

Tesco, you've failed to give us some important information!

Are you alright?
