screeeeccchhhBLAMBeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp
from inside my house a few minutes ago. I about live about 200 yards from a fairly busy road (see map--that's not my address, but at the apex of the turn near the address is where this happened). I walked outside to see if it had been near my back yard, then to the front where my neighbors invited me over to see (they live on the edge of 2222, so they have front-row seats).
2222 has two lanes each way, and a center turn lane at this point--speculated that one car was turning left onto dry creek, and the other was coming down hill (westbound) in the left lane, and hit them.
Looked like a pair of lexus ES300's or es400's did a head on. One was spun into the gas station, the other was left in traffic. It wasn't full-head-on, more like 30%. Both had their front headlights pushed back to mid-engine bay. Airbags were deployed in the close car, the far car wasn't lit well enough to see. Fire/EMS response was under three minutes, by the time I was in viewing distance, they were already on their way. Several drivers who witnessed had stopped.
No, no pics. I'll try and get some of the roadway for reference at some point.
Two ambulances visited, there were definitely bad injuries.
This road is VERY twisty and has mid-range speeds--it's fun to drive in stretches on a nice day. The particular area where this occured is a lower-visibility area due to the decline and curve. A driver not paying attention going down the hill could easily top 50mph or more. The downhill direction makes it hard to see where a car is if they are in the turn lane.
The Neighbors said an accident occurs around this particular stretch roughly once a month.
