excitement for the day

so it was off to training today. we had to be there at 9:30. we were leaving early because last time they started early.  we missed the bridge to get on 837. we could have gone a different way but felt liek we should turn around. so we did. then we had to return aroudn cuz the onramp is only going the one way. so we pulled into the street by Korner Stone Diner (used to be little nicks... this is on 148 or 5th ave (known as both names))  then there's this truck in front of us. we have to wait for it to turn green. he's turning left.  but it's a T intersection so that shouldnt matter too much.  The light turns green.  He waits a few seconds and starts going slowing and this little red car comes fliying trhough the red light. he saw it comign and braked but it was too late.  the front of his car on the driver's side got a littles mashed.  but the whole front of the red car got smashed in.  glass flew far. and all this liquid started dripping on the road. 

i didn't get out of the car at this point but one guy in our car and one guy in the other car got out to see. they saw the guy's (passenger we assume) head smashed into the windshield. he was bleeding pretty bad.  right after it happened some black lady came running over w/ the cops on the phone so we didn't have to call..it was taken care of.  so then we backed up and went into the diner parking lot. i called work to tell them to let bettis know we would be late  cuz we had to give our statements about it cuz the other people weren't witnesses they just heard it and ran out.  the cops and the ambulence were very fast getting to the scene. the cops only took statements from the drivers even tho i noticed more details about the light being green and going and the car  but o well.  I called my manager cuz i wasn't sure who else to call... I only had numbers of a few people in my department. but he didnt' answer; my administrative assistnant answered and wanted to know if i had the number of who to call... if i had that, i wouldn't have had to call her.  but i didn't tell her who all was in teh car(s). so she told the intern coordinator and aparently she sent out and e-mail to all the managers of the interns to inform them about it.  but aparently i did good calling work and nobody else thought of it.

the cops couldnt seem to find the driver of the red car. i don't know where she went. but we didnt' stick around at all after we gave our statemtns. they wanted to get to a boring presentation. i wanted to find out what they do after wrecks. i want to know the speed limit on 148. i am thinking 45 but it might be 35. the lady was definitely going faster than 45.

btw i've never seen a wreck before but i was close one day on 30 when i had my permit and was driving. but i wans't lookign at the road at the redlight so i missed it.

our presentation ran over.  then on teh way back we went to fuddruckers. i got a 1/3 lb burger and couldnt finish it. most of the guys got 1/2 lb burger. one got fries too and a milkshake.  one guy got a 1 lb and onion rings but saved half for later.  it was a pretty good burger. and i never say that about a restraunt.
