On the way to work today I was stopped on Venice waiting to turn right to get on the 405 when I saw something a bit unusual.
First I heard a rather loud squeal of brakes (I live in L.A. so that doesn't really count as unusual). Then I saw a rather largish truck, possibly a Ford F150 bouncing up and down in a way rather reminiscent of a physics sim running at too low a framerate (non game programmers should imagine replacing the wheels of the truck with giant powered pogo sticks). Then there was a rather nasty crunch sound.
As I moved closer (and past the scene... there were no injuries and I've already wasted an hour and a half of my life waiting around for police to take a statement from me once and I won't be repeating that experience unless I'm actually involved) I saw the F150 sitting astride the median and somewhat interpenetrating the side of a tiny little hatchback. The drivers of both vehicles were standing outside looking very not happy at each other.
I must say that today I'm glad I have side impact airbags and a five star side impact rating on my 2000 Galant GTZ.
