Flew down to Orlando today to take part in some Hurricane relief for work. On the freeway leaving the airport, I pass a newer Jag completely engulfed in flames. Drove by it at a crawl because of traffic and my entire car became an oven with the windows up and A/C running. Thought that was going to be the crazy thing I saw today....
About three more miles down the road, I'm traveling behind a Mazda 3 and a large vacuum/pump truck. I was about two football fields behind them and felt like just us three with everyone bottle necked at the car fire. While cruising just north of 70mph, the Mazda 3 goes right into a median that is angled upwards to an onramp that is coming down from an over pass. The Mazda goes through the grass, gets airborne going onto the on ramp, smacks the concrete wall from the overpass, goes left back towards the free way and nails one the supporting concrete pillars.
When she went right I hit the brakes not knowing what was about to come so by the time she hit the pillar I was almost stopped. I creeped by in the far left lane and saw she was up against the driver window not moving. I pulled over, called 911 and tried to get the location. Ran over as another person was trying to get her out. I screamed DONT MOVE HER as no idea what the injuries were. We made sure she had a pulse, but let her be till rescue arrived.Took EMS/Fire a little because of the car fire. They got her out, but she still didn't seem to be with it. Gave my report to FHP and continued on my way.
This shook me. It happened so fast and so violent when she hit the pillar. Hope she was okay.
Sorry for the story, but had to type it out.
