Drove to Cleveland to visit my daughter on Friday. We left late in the evening and stopped at Park and Eat in Erie for a very late dinner. We continued our ride home on Route 90 - a 4 lane highway. Around 1:30 AM on Saturday morning, my wife, who has never been in the car without a seatbelt says: "Got to get the cookies from the backseat - taking off my belt - don't get in an accident".

Well, within 30 seconds, she's facing the back and a car is coming right at me in the other lane - in other words, someone thinks they're on a two-lane highway and they're in my passing lane. The car was doing at least 80 and went by me like a rocket. I aimed it towards the side of the road and immediately called 911 - shaking like a leaf.
Within about a minute a trooper went flying by on the other side. Cars continued to pass by me as I sat there, so it became apparent that no one got killed. Meanwhile, my wife never even saw it happen - which is probably good...

I'm guessing that someone with way too much to drink went down the on-ramp.

Sure makes you know that sometimes there's not much you can do.......

 

daaaaaaayummmmmmmmmm

 

Good thing no one was hurt! I know that happens occasionally around here (more often than you'd hope)...and it's crazy....

 

WOW !!! Glad you & the Mrs. are ok.. That would shake about anyone up..

Crazy world we live in..

 

Happens here in Ohio too often. Drunk drivers and senior citizens, and usually ends bad. Good to hear your OK/

 

Geeze. Talk about your life flashing before your eyes.
