re: #135 Hecuba’s daughter

Per CNN — it was an accident. cnn.com

Apparently it had been raining heavily so maybe that was a contributing factor.

I was in an accident where a truck hit a bunch of cars (about 12 involved vehicles, mine was hit by the resulting chain reaction). The truck drove about 3 blocks farther at around the same speed (maybe 30 mph) and hit some more cars creating a new chain reaction.

It was a rental truck (think UHaul) and the guy driving it had some kind of medical incident. Cops were taking witness statements and accident reports for hours. My car had very limited damage (unlike the ones that got hit directly, those were severely damaged) and I got $1300.00.

At first everyone was really pissed. Once we discovered the man had a heart attack or seizure or something like that and, what’s it called, momentum (?) took over, we all felt bad for him.

Everyone remained pissed that we had to spend hours waiting for and talking to the police.
