The details you miss…

I took a quick break from work to go grab some dinner (mix plate, mmm…) and on the way saw some aftermath of an accident on the opposite side of the road in the left turn lane. There was a jeep and behind it a red coupe with it’s hood all bent upwards, and between the cars a girl talking to a guy– it appeared to be her coupe and his jeep. I wondered how such accidents happen but continued on my way.

On the way back, when I reached the same street I could see in the distance the flashing of police lights… the cops had arrived at the scene of the accident. As I got closer, I counted at least 5 cop cars surrounding the scene with a tow truck in front loading the red coupe onto it. I wondered why on earth that many cops were necessary except maybe a couple to block off the lanes of traffic affected.

Passing the accident from the same side of the road this time, I noticed something I hadn’t before… a chevy SUV of some type with it’s hood looking slightly dented, and the rear end of that red coupe totally smashed in… must have hit the coupe pretty good to smash it into that Jeep like that.

Quite a different picture… the details you can miss when all you’re doing is passing by.

Coming up next… my first impressions of a new Korean grill in Provo. Stay tuned…
