Last night another one of my friends was broadsided and flipped. The car is a total loss but she is fine. It was good that she was alone in the car a passenger would not have fared so well. I'm averaging about one friend a year. All of them have been fine (or are again now). That's a pretty good testament to engineering... oh and they were almost all hit by someone running a red light... which is a testament to stupidity and lack of attention.
On a related subject a truck ran a red light last night, hit the DART light rail forcing it off the track and injuring 15-20 people. Most of the injuries were minor. The accident was cleaned up and the track approved for use before the rush hour push this morning. This is not really a testament to much of anything it just caught me attention because we have so few light rail incidents that they rarely make the news. Different from streetcar accidents in New Orleans which were so common that they never made the news.

Hmmm...that makes the 2-hour license renewal lecture here seem much more valuable.
Glad everyone is ok and gets back on the road quickly.
