Accident on 264 leaving Va Bch last night
Did anyone see or know what happened? I drove through right after it happened a little after 11.
Appeared to be 3 cars
1. Red Mustang Gt Fox Body
2. Some White car
3. A silver or grey 4 door...maybe an Altima or G35
The Mustang was smashed to shit against the guardrail on the right and the silver car was parked in the middle of the left and center lanes.
When I came though it must had just happened because traffic hadn't backed up yet.
I saw the fox off to the side and that took my attention away from teh fact that the silver car was in my lane. When I looked back in front of me I was between 50 and 75 ft away.
I will say that I'm 100% sure that every thing I learned at the Bondurant School of Racing is applicable in real life.They run us through a crash avoidance portion that was exactly the same scenario.
I managed to swerve around it at 70 or so with 3 cars around me and didn't hit anything....damn near gave myself a heart attack though.
Got past that and the guy that was to my right actually pulled up and honked and gave me the thumbs up. I could tell that he wasn't pissed but was just impressed that I pulled it off without killing myself.
Called 911 and got the Va Bch poilce who in so many words didn't give a shit about an accident on 264 and then told me to call the Highway Patrol.
Called them and was told "we'll check it out."
Then as I was getting off on Newtown to 64W there were about 7 Highway Patrol cars parked on the off ramp and 264 to pull over 1 van.
Interesting.
