RedShoe

Holy shit. It was weird to witness it.

I love those cops shows and those scariest car chase videos on TV. So it was exciting and scary at the same time.

Mrs. RedShoe and I were going southbound on Highland Blvd, just before the highland exit off the Hollywood Fwy. If you are familiar with that road there is a big soft curve to the right, then it swings left under the off ramp. As were in the soft curve, I noticed the guy behind me kinda swung wide. He was in an older Astro Van.

We were the only two cars on Highland. It was hard to tell he was in the northbound lane because we were in a curve. Then this white Isuzu Trooper is going north past me and BAM! Nailed this guy head on at full speed. Both cars doing maybe 45 - 50 miles an hour... give or take a few. But they slammed on their brakes so they must have slowed down a little.

I pulled right over. "OH SHIT! THEY JUST HIT HEAD ON" I quietly said to the Mrs. I called 911 ASAP, and I turned around to see if anyone survived.

Sure enough this little dude was pulling a girl out of the SUV. He looked pretty shaken up. The Van that was behind me in the wrong lane had no signs of life.

Then I noticed a face looking out at me thru the window. This dude was FUCKED up. He was driving an old Astro van. He looked like he hit the steering wheel or some shit. He was a bloody mess.

I don't know how, but he stumbled out thru the passengers side somewhere and was resting against the driver side door. He said something to me in spanish I think and I told him to come to the curb. He was FUCKED up. Bloody, stumbling speaking in tongues.

He was a big guy, and I didn't want him lunging at me all fucked up like that. So I kept saying. "Come to the curb, Come to the curb", then his legs just gave out. Bam he fell right down in the middle of the road. He was trying to roll around and so I figured he was ok enough to just lay there.

Shortly there after the LAFD showed up and helped everyone. They took the van guy and his fucked up passenger away in ambulances.

Fucking exciting and scary at the same time. The Adrenalin is still pumping.

Luckily I had my Nikon from a shoot I was at earlier. So I got a lot of pics of the crash.

I'll post them later.


Madness.
