My trailer sits roughly one hundred feet from the front entrance to the park. My trailer also fronts onto the main road. The main road is what I call a Shotgun Road. Two lanes heading each way seperated by an island. In front of our entrance is a break so people can pull into the park. (They often use this cut as a place to do U-Turns.) Because of this I get to hear the screaming tires of near misses as well as witness the results of too many accidents. Last night was no different.
I was sitting in the living room reading and thinking about heading for bed when I heard the tires scream and then a loud bang followed by more sounds. It sounded like it was coming into my living room. AS I headed out the door I grabbed a flashlight and my jump kit. When I stepped onto the sidewalk I could see the cars sitting in the entrance to the park.
As I approached I could clearly see the vehicles. One was a Dodge Ram Pickup, it's front end was crunched and dropping fluid. The second vehicle was a Mini-Van and it had been hit in the side and was sitting in the bushes. The van was closest to me so that was where I stopped fist.
In the van the driver and passenger both were sitting there dazed. Their Air Bags had deployed and the interior was filled with smoke. I couldn't open the door so I popped the window and checked on them quickly even as I checked to make sure they were the only ones in the vehicle. Even over the smoke from the Air Bags came the unmistakable stench of booze. I told them to keep still and went to the Pickup.
Again the Air Bags had deployed and again the doors were jambed. I had 9-1-1 on the phone and was describing the scene even as I was checking the people out. The passenger of the truck started screaming they didn't need me calling 9-1-1. When I asked the driver of the truck if they were injured he told me they weren't. When I asked if there was anyone else in the truck the passenger started screaming at me. She wanted me to get the fuck away from there and leave them the fuck alone.
Within minutes the first cruiser showed up and pulled in behind the truck. The officer saw my Jump Kit sitting beside the Van and asked me what we had. I told him what I had seen even as the passenger in the truck continued screaming at me. (She wasn't happy in the least.) Rescue as well as a couple more Officers arrived.
The doors were popped and everyone was checked out again. I watched with interest as this was done and then the cops moved in. Both drivers were given breath tests and failed miserably.
Final results were:
Two Drivers arrested for OUI.
One passenger arrested for Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and Assault on an Officer.
Two Vehicles Flat Bedded.
One Passenger driven home by Cab.
Thankfully no injuries this time.
I finally got home about an hour after and soon went to bed.

I'm disappointed.
