4:30 am this morning I was woke up when I heard a loud crash and a motor rev up VERY high and then shut off. Sounded like it was right outside my window. well, it was! A couple seconds later (was still waking up!) I realized what happened, ran outside and a guy had rolled his car over in the neighbors yard. I was afraid I was going to find a car stuck in the front of my house. anyway what ever happened, He had gotten up on the side walk and hit a street sign and then a telephone pole in front of my house, took out my mailbox and the neighbors, hit the retaining wall in my neighbors yard and rolled the car. It was an E class Mercedes! Some kid, don't know what happened for sure. He was all right too, just pinned. took them about an hour to cut him out of the car! It screwed that car up! pieces all in the street and my yard, the neighbors yard, mail boxs and posts and splinters thrown everywhere. bricks from the retaining wall, It was a mess!
It was scarey as hell going up to that car, setting up on the drivers side, right after it happened. Never know the condition of the people inside. Fortunately, no blood. He was is good shape, just shaken up. this kid was fortunate that he glanced the power pole and hit the retaining wall. It's only about 2 feet tall. If he would have been a foot to the left he would have center punched the power pole. a foot or two to the right he would have hit a big tree stump in my yard or worse then punched a big oak tree in my neighbors yard. Aside from the fact he crashed, Its unreal the luck that was with this kid.
