Yikes! Something similar happened to me on my way to work around noon one day. Only it didn't end with such a big pile-up. Just two cars, the drunk-or-otherwise-intoxicated person and the person he bumped into. I was on the phone with 911 when it happened and all I remember was a string of profanity leaving my mouth. Poor 911 operator.

Glad you turned out okay.

OMG! I was shaking reading this. And you so tried to do the right thing by calling to get her off the road.

Not without my children

In the middle of civilized Europe, first decade of 21st century, mother and children being forcibly seperated. Children on a run, their only mistake to become baptized, Christians. German Government closing blind eyes. Who we are? Where are we going to? Is EU the same place that we been fighting for through ages?

omg… I was in a bad car wreck when I was a teenager.. we were Tboned by a truck making an illegal left turn. your post just brought it all back.. the surreal feeling… the quiet tinkling sound of glass falling somewhere. Looking up to see your family crumped in the car, broken.. bloody.. and hear the ambulance in the distance, praying they hurry.

Your whole life can change in an instant. I think about that every day… how it can all change to quick.

Thank God for people like you who DARE to call 911 and try to stop something like that from happening….at least you tried. how many people didn’t?

Holy frijoles!

I'm glad you're okay!

I really wonder what was up with her though...

Doesn’t it just infuriate you when you call 911 and there isn’t a magical cop car INSTANTLY on the scene?

I’m such a tattle tale, I could probably use a little more hesitation in my life. A few years back I was in the grocery store check out line. The guy in front of me was clearly drunk at 2:00 in the afternoon. And all he was buying was a big bottle of vodka. I watched him walk out to his car and drive out of the parking lot completely smashed. I called 911 — they could not have cared less. They said, “He’s probably just headed home”. OH! That’s good, because I’m sure there aren’t any children who play oustide in neighborhoods. Ergh.

Wow, your writing was riveting!
That’s pretty scary, though. Reminds me of an accident I saw once that ended in people being thrown from the car like rag dolls. I don’t think that image will ever leave my mind. >_<

Were you all hands-shaking, heartbeats-raging afterwards?

Car accidents are so scary. Unpredicatable, deadly, skin/bones-vs-metally...

You're okay! And that's what worried us most. (But, I suppose, not really. What's most worrisome is how common that is! And in the afternoon, no less. Gawd. So many innocents.)

You called.

This is the point.

The fact that you called is great. It's more than most people would do.

Did they ever tell you what was wrong with her? (Or am I just a stupid head and miss that part of your entry?)

In any case, I'm glad you're all right.

I'm also glad it was "Squirt 'n Flirt" and not the other way around.

That would lead to many more comments, I suspect.

When you get frustrated at hitting another red light, be greatful, for you might have wound up being next to her instead of behind.

Glad you’re okay.

Oh my god. So glad you’re ok; so sorry you had to see that.

I couldn’t help thinking that had the cops arrived, they’d probably be as likely to give you a ticket for driving while on your cell as they would to do anything about the woman actually endangering people.

Terrifying. Happy that you’re ok, be interesting to know what caused her to drive so erratically.

Good lord! I’m glad you’re okay! Good for you for staying on it and calling 911. How scary.

Thanks all. Truth be told, I don’t know how the others are doing — I will say that although a few people went to the hospital, there were no *visible* major injuries.

That’s horrible! I’m glad you were OK. That must have been so terrifying for you.

Sounds like your instincts were spot on.

Glad you weren’t injured…let us know about the others involved if you can, okay?

By: Beth

Good for you on calling – I would not worry about “what if I’m ruining someone’s life” – after all, *you* are not the one ruining her life by calling… if she had been arrested for drunk driving, it would have been her ruining her own life. And clearly, she wasn’t worried about ruining – or *ending* other people’s lives – when she got behind the wheel of that car.

I hope the injuries caused were not too serious. It sounds like it was horrific accident.
