About 2:54 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, April 20, 2024, I heard a series of very-loud, seemingly-endless collisions. All the neighbors heard it too, and we all ran down to the intersection of Second Avenue and 21st Street to see what happened.
What we found was a bunch of riddles. At least six vehicles were involved in the accident. Multiple parked cars were struck. Apparently a car drove away entirely from the accident on a flat tire. Plus, a pickup truck collided head on with a parked car. None of us could come up with a theory that satisfactorily-explained the wreckage that we observed strewn all about. Did the pickup truck driver do all this damage by himself? Seemed implausible.
Bystanders helped the driver of the pickup truck out of his vehicle and lay him down in the gutter until help could arrive. The driver seemed somewhat incoherent, but it was unclear why. Driving head on into a parked car and having an air bag explode in his face might have been enough to make him incoherent.
Help begins arriving.
Ambulance.
Assessing the damage.
A second engine arrives!
