Auto shop was drivin' me and another customer home after we had dropped our cars off to be serviced this morning.. a guy in two-way/four-lane traffic had a stroke right in front of us.. his head literally turned like...well over 90 degrees.. unnaturally.. we could see his face and his back was to us in the driver's seat, put it that way...

Anyways.. yeah.. we were the first people on the scene/closest people to his car, so the other passenger and I jumped out and kept the guy in his seat after opening his door (kept him from snapping his neck, though), his wife was trying to push him into the back and get into the driver's seat to drive away, so we forced her (basically, physically) to give us the keys.. she kept saying "he always has strokes, has for 15 years", etc).. I asked her why he was driving, then.. haha.. she's like "he takes pills for this, they'll pull him out of it.." yes, she was crazy.

Better than coffee... when it happened and he had the stroke, probably 12 cars swerved crazily to avoid being hit by him or hitting other people, our car being one...he was flooring it when he had the stroke, the wife had pried his foot from the gas pedal, she said...she wouldn't give us the keys initially, and we think one of the reasons why is because we found out that they're homeless (from her).. and I don't think homeless people have much respect/best relationship with authorities, so she didn't want them involved. Nice how she puts her wants and needs over those of her husband, let alone the many people in vehicles that he was very close to crashing into and possibly killing...obviously not his fault he had the stroke when he had it, but at the same time, if it's a regular issue he shouldn't be driving at all, I would think.

Anyways.. sorry...just exciting and scary.. happened just past 8 am and my heart's still goin' a little from it. Myself and the other two men cordoned off traffic until EMS arrived, etc, but we had our cars out in the middle of a pretty significant thoroughfare (as was the victim's, and moving his meant moving him from the driver's seat, which we wanted to leave for the ems staff)...having cars whip around you at 50 miles an hour is crazy.. we couldn't leave him and the car because that meant leaving her with him (she wouldn't budge), and she was somewhat...untrustworthy.

The driver for the autoshop could be in Nascar, though, the way he swerved to avoid everyone the seizing man sent at us by driving into oncoming traffic.. it was crazy.. we almost crashed into numerous cars hammering down on us, but he swerved around ALL of them. Happened in a matter of seconds, but deadly nonetheless.

Just.. craziness.

GEEZ! Good job sticking around and not just leaving the guy there. Yep, the wife was crazy.

As for me. My daughter is puling a 100 fever and its my turn to stay at home from work.

Glad to hear you made it through that ok!

ickwinzs · 02-08-2008, 11:29 PM

Man I know that shakes you up, I was driving down 84 once and had the car in front of me veer of into the center diveder and the caf flipped over and all the ocupants were ejected it was a mess. I am glad that I wasn't alone long as a nurse and doctor pulled up shortly.
