11-18-05 @ 5:05pm I was sitting in stop and go traffic waiting to travel one mile west to get to the freeway. Two lanes westbound + centerlane + Three lanes eastbound. I was stopped just past a business access entry, and the people behind me in both lanes were kind enough to let a gap in traffic appear for people to get in and out of the business lot. I was in the left lane, closest to the centerlane. A truck was coming up the centerlane, heading west, to turn left at the traffic light, about 1500 feet ahead. Then the **** hit the fan, or most importantly, ME.
A car pulls out of the business access and hits the truck in the rear passenger side wheel (Which happened to shear the axle housing from the leaf springs), there by shifting the rear to the left, and pointing the front to the right and more to the point, right at ME. The truck hits me hard enough to move me about 5 feet ro the right, but I also get my head smacked by the frame above the window. The truck continues it's forward momentum, but the front catches on me, so the ass end swings out to the left and he makes just over a 180 degree spin, and finally having his rear end hit the driver door of the truck in front of me. While the damage isn't THAT bad, it still pisses me off none the less. And of course, the person that is at fault for all this, has no insurance.
