Then I hear a dull bang and I look up to see two cars spinning out of control.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe first thing that I do is get my phone out and start to dial 911.  But as I am about to hit send, I look up and see many people outside of their cars and on cell phones.  I figure the odds are good that one of them is already handling it.  So I turn off the engine and go out side.  One vehicle has flipped over and is on Parmer south of McNeil.  The other has actually driven up a guy wire for a telephone pole and is dangling on it.  I go to that vehicle to see if I can help but there are already people there.  Two people are in the vehicle and both are unconscious and leaning on the dashboard.  The police arrive immediately (in less than a minute).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI am not in the mood to stand and gawk and I didn&#8217;t see the start of the accident so I get back in my truck and carefully drive through the glass and car parts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis was obviously a T-bone collision where one car was at least travelling 55 MPH (people normally drive at least 65).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis just screams out to the mortality of life, how instantaneously it can end, and how freaking unsafe my vehicle can be&#8230;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI hope everyone was alright.  Thank god for helpful bystanders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here I am sitting on McNeil and waiting for the light at Parmer to change.
