I left the house a few minutes late this morning after realizing the britches I pressed last night were inappropriately tight. I got caught in some pretty heinous traffic on the highway into work.
Turns out, that heinous traffic was result of a serious accident. I did not know this at the time, or even suspect it, until I heard the sirens. Like a dutiful citizen, I and every other commuter on the road pulled onto the shoulder to allow the ambulance to pass quickly. Momentarily, I was kind of proud of my fellow humanity as the two lanes of bumper-to-bumper parted like the red sea.
The ambulance was accompanied by the roar of another engine. A few cars behind me, a new black Camero peeled loudly out of its place on the shoulder and hurried after the ambulance half a second after it passed, running up so close that its grill was not a yard from the back bumper of the emergency vehicle. The rest of us all returned to the road in the order we had left it, but the douchewallop in the black car continued to tailgate the ambulance, taking advantage of its wake.
The accident was before my exit, and so I got to see it. A pick-up truck had bodyslammed a sedan into the median wall. Ambulance was on the scene. We were all reduced to one lane of passage. Camero was a few hundred yards away, on the side of the road in front of a highway patrol car.
I hope whoever was in the wreck was okay. And I hope that turd in the Camero gets it good for ambulance chasing.
