We could see smoke and more lights as we approached the 500 S. intersection. The idiot driver hit the sliding door of a family's minivan! I'm sensitive and as soon as I saw that he had hit someone I was upset but when I realized it was a family, I cried. The idiot driver (that is too kind of a name for him) was in handcuffs, on his side on the ground, surrounded by cops. I didn't see him get manhandled but if they had let me, I would have been the one kicking his face really hard. The minivan had slid away from the car and the airbags had deployed. I watched as one cop worked to put out some flames (or was worried about flames starting). Another cop was with the dad of the minivan. I think everyone inside was okay but very shaken. The cop had his head inside the broken window but I couldn't tell if someone was inside or not. I think though that if someone had been inside and was hurt, the dad and cop would have been in panic mode. There could have been someone inside waiting for medical attention but not severely hurt. The cops quickly blocked off the road. We did not stay around for the ambulance to arrive since we didn't want to be in the way. We did pass the paramedic heading to the scene. A while later, when returning home from our errands, we looked from a distance and saw that the road was still partially blocked off and cops were still at the scene.
The incident really bothered me. I wasn't hurt but I internalized it as if it did happen to me. Steve didn't understand that but maybe that is because he's a guy. My adrenaline spiked, my emotions poured, and my mind raced. It was scary!
