I took a trip to visit my sister in college this weekend and I brought my camera along for the hell of it to take pictures of my trip or for any ricey cars. Didn't find any ricey cars but I did happen to see a Mustang in a ditch. It was raining (freezing rain) and I guess the driver switched lanes too fast and went out of control.
Nobody was helping the person and you could barely see it because everyone was higher and you couldn't see it until the last second. But, out of the 100 cars I had seen pass it, nobody had the heart to stop. I stopped about 150 ft after from doing about 65 mph, skidding a little bit, ABS kicking in (I was in my Blazer) and realizing how slick it was.
As I'm running my ass off in the cold with freezing rain hitting my face, I'm thinking it's serious because the hazards are flashing and the horn is honking as if someone were holding it down signaling for help or worse, slumped over unconcious. The windows were tinted on the side with 5% so I couldn't see anyone.
Kinda freaky. So I don't know what to expect really. And I didn't see anyone around or anyone start to open the door of the Mustang. Off to the side, I see a younger guy, around 18-20. He didn't hear me walking because the horn is still blaring. I walk up to him, he looks teary eyed, and I say "Are you ok man????" He said yah. He slid off the road. As we are walking closer to eachother so we can hear better, I say is someone coming to pick you up? He said ya, his parents are, and he thanked me for stopping. And when he said that, the smell of Watermelon Pucker hit me like a brick wall.
I felt like punching the guy for drinking and driving, but I'm sure his busted ass ride will be a reminder. I grabbed my camera before I left because I wanted to take pictures but he looked stressed out due to his fixed up Mustang screwed up and he knew it was probably the drinking that caused the poor judgement.
This is the only picture I got because I would feel dumb saying "Hey, I know your Mustang is ****ed up right now, you probably have frame damage, the suspension is shot and your car is scuffed up, but you do think I could take some pictures of your wrecked pride and joy?"
As I was walking away, I snapped a quick picture
