Horrible

On my way home from work yesterday, I saw a woman get hit by a car. Yes, literally. It was the most disturbing and violent thing I have ever seen.

I was in my taxi van and I noticed this woman in a rush getting ready to cross the street. She took a step into the road and then noticed a car coming and tried to get back on the curb. Needless to say, she didn't make it in time. All the way in my cab, the next lane over, I heard a large thud and watched her get thrown into the street. I screamed and covered my eyes.

When I eventually opened my eyes to look out the window, I saw that she was getting up and talking. That was shocking! Maybe she's fine, maybe she was on an adrenaline rush, but I hope someone made her go to the hospital.

I can't get the vision or the sound out of my head.

That is just awful! Nice way to start the trip. I am hoping that she got to the hospital. Hopefully the rest of your trip is injury free.

Oh no! That's awful. I hope you are feeling less shaken.

PS - The word I have to type for word verification to post this comment is "palin". NO JOKE!

Disturbing. The worst thing I've ever seen hit is a deer - and that was bad enough. On that note, have you seen any kangaroos hopping across the street?
