Excitement of the Evening....

Its 5:15 on a Friday night and my kids are playing in the back yard. I am inside cleaning up the kitchen and thinking what should I make for supper. Yelled at the kids a few times for fighting then went back to the kitchen. I had the news on and was just looking up at the TV when I heard the most horrific sound ever. I immediately listened for the kids and turned. They were just fine. Ran with my phone and socks on out the front door to find a horrible car accident. It was straight out of the movies! This doesn't happen in your front yard! The car blew a stop sign going 60mph (it is a residential area why would they think 60mph was okay?) and the truck hit the car causing it to fly up onto our neighbors lawn. I called 911 as the vehicle was on fire and there were two people in the car. Running across the street on the phone and with only socks on to meet up with my neighbors. The kids were out front by this time. I turned and told them to sit on the steps. Someone yelled for a fire extinguisher and Braeden runs in the house and gets ours out of the kitchen. (Proud mom moment and so glad he knew where it was!) About 10 others ran in their homes and grab theirs as well. We were trying to figure out if everyone was okay. The driver of the truck was walking around fine just angry over his truck. The driver of the car was out of the car trying to light a cigarrette. We were all yelling at him not to because of the gas coming from his car. We got him to lay on the ground. A few others had to pull the passenger out of the car because the door wouldn't open and it was on fire. It was a crazy scene. The cops arrived in a heard followed by the fire department. The ambulance took the longest. It was an amazing sight and all the neighbors were out trying to help. It made me feel like we live in the right area! Bad way to meet the neighbors but nice to meet them too. The kids were all sitting in my front yard playing. It was an awful scene for them. The two guys in the car were taken by ambulance to the hospital. One was on a back board and one walked to the ambulance. What a sight! When the tow trucks arrived the cops went throug the car. They found 4 empty 40s! Awesome...thanks guys there are a ton of kids in the neighborhood and it was only 5:30 at the latest in the evening. If the truck had been coming up the hill instead of down the hill this would've been in my front yard instead of across the street. The trucks axel broke and 3 of the 4 tires were off. Wow is all we could say. Nick comes up Adams Street to find all the chaosis and was freaked out because it was right by our house. He was deverted around the block. He said he was relieved to see all of us on the front steps. The kids all kept talking about it. We decided to take them out for supper and get away from it all for a little while. Wow...the cops and fire department had the scene cleaned up pretty quickly. Here are some pictures of the vehicles! Holy crap is all I can say!
