Default Witnessed Accident Yesterday.

I was stopped at the the light on 266A going East at the intersection of Buena Vista.

I blus small car was going thru the intersection north on buena vista and I saw a white SUV following too close and going too fast. The white SUV hit the blue car, without hitting their brakes, It then rolled into a car, waiting at the other side of 466A, going west.

Two young guys jumped out of the blue car, and a woman stopped at the light, was reaching into the SUV. I proceeded to Morse Blvd and saw three EMS vehicles passing by, toward the accident.

I didn't see anything in today paper unless I missed it, so I was wondering if anyone knows what happened?

This is pure speculation, but my impression is the driver of the white SUV, must have had a medical problem, because they never hit their brakes before hitting the blue car, and subsequently after rolling into the cars at the intersection.

By mentioning the color of the SUV, are you implying that white SUVs are more prone to causing accidents? That is how stereotypes are perpetuated. My belief is that the color of the SUV had nothing to do with it causing an accident.

That was mean, sounds more like he may have had a heart attack or stroke or something.

Perhaps your eye witness account may have been of some help................

Joe, sometimes we totv folks get in a feeding frenzy. ain't that a shame?
You were concerned about the driver. It's likely you said a prayer. You posted to see if anybody knows more.
You did good, Joe, and your heart is in the right place.

ps I had to edit this because I spelled "ain't" wrong and had to correct it.

I'm with you, Kitty and Joe. Hearts are in the right place. Hopefully the people are OK.
