Two 911 Calls In One Day
I had to call 911 twice today. Once to report a brush fire on the side
of the interstate in Slidell as we headed to the farm. Then again just
now coming home to report an accident we were almost involved in. Damned
I-10/610 road split. At least 6 cars I think, two separate accidents
domino effect. It happened just ahead of us. Just saw swerving cars and
break lights and traffic coming to a sudden halt. I was afraid to stop
and risk making it worse because idiots were still flying down the
highway toward where it happened even with all of us throwing on our
emergency flashers and a semi trying to block the lanes and slow people
as we passed. I called 911 because it literally just happened and I
doubt anyone involved in the crash was coherent enough to have dialed,
didn't see any of them with their phones in hand yet. Two cars were
smashed and totaled and spun around facing the wrong way on the road. I
heard people screaming and crying. I really, really hope no one was
seriously injured. Thanking the gods we stopped in Slidell for Starbucks
before heading back across the lake and that there was a delay with
them making my coffee. Otherwise we would have likely been involved in
that accident. Adrenaline is still pumping.
