Crash

Tonight I was driving through Pulaski County on my way to eastern Kentucky. I was on a four-lane, divided highway, much like an interstate, but not. I was heading east. The traffic heading west was seperated by a grass median.

It was a long, straight stretch. Up ahead there were flashing headlights... bright to dim, bright to dim, bright to dim. And then, I saw them, a pair of headlights in the eastbound lanes heading west. Brakes were hit. I followed the car ahead of me into the grass and came to a stop. The truck beside me came to a stop and then SMACK. The car drove straight into the truck head on. I sat and watched it all happen: the sparks, the crunch of the front half of a car.
