Freezing roads
Apr. 7th, 2009 11:50 pmIt was definitely a "bridges freeze before roads" evening out there. On the way back from climbing, I got to see an oncoming SUV fishtail, spin out, cross the median and come to a stop half-way on the sidewalk on my side of St Laurent -- on one of the bridges.
Stop, and checked -- the driver was shaken (of course), but ok. She asked about calling 911 -- I suggested not bothering, there were no injuries and the only damage appeared to be to her SUV: her front right tire & rim were trashed, and her rear tire was flat. Get a tow truck, and get things fixed. Probably not even worth reporting to insurance. (Well, unless there were hidden axle type damage or something like that.)
Then drove the rest of the way home. Carefully. Did see evidence that there had been other road mishaps as well.
