Default Sandhill cranes

Sunday while driving on our way to church on Buena Vista we saw three cranes up ahead in the road. A blue Nissan Van with damage to it's rear gate along side of us showed no attempt to slow down for the birds. I layed on the horn to him and hoping the birds would also fly off. At the very last minute one of the birds jumped up and the van stopped inches from hitting it. If I wasn't on my way to church I would of stopped and asked how stupid could this guy be to want to run these birds over. Not the first incident of poor driving here. When first arriving here I was hit by two cars even when in the breakdown lane to avoid a woman stopping dead in the road on 301 because of paper. Laid my wife up for 9 months with injuries.
