Question Crashed S2000 on ridge road

I just received a call with my friend saying: are you ok? I answered...yeah? What's going on? "my cousin just called and said a rock truck hit an s2000 same color as yours by your school and went completely over it." I was shocked and I thought to my self... I hope it's not my neighbor around the block...I asked him if the driver was ok and his cousin said it was a fatal accident from looks. I thanked him for calling and worrying and I was nowhere near there so I'm just posting this on my phone. If the driver is on here I hope your alright. From my friends words it sounded pretty horrid...

His cousin is the one that told him an saw it. I will update if I find anything on it

Edit: this is a link I found on my phone it doesn't mention what cars on it but I hope everything is ok http://m2.tbo.com/content/2010/sep/21/2117.../news-breaking/

just looked at the pic without reading. Sux none the less. That pic was almost me on Dale Mabry a few weeks back. Was making a turn to head S on Dale Mabry and I never hesitate for a green light. I knew the light was Green but waited and when the car in back of me beeped a dump truck blew the light on Dale Mabry, I would have been directly in front of it and he was going 70 or faster. I would have been killed for sure

WOW i bet you totally just kissed your steering wheel and thanked god you didnt go...I had a few close calls like that and i think its just a feeling i get.

I just looked on the computer its a pickup truck, on my phone the picture was small. I felt like i needed to post it. People these days man. I couldnt imagine me killing someone cause of a driving mistake.

yea. i was headed to Kuhn to get some ATF for my parents CRV and when I get there the person I always work with in parts asked if I was ok, he could tell something had happened before I said a word. CDL "professional" driver.

Your right , it was just a feeling I had and for some stupid reason, me not going the car in the other turn lane did not go either. No way to tell why because from were I was at you can not see anything coming down Dale Mabry.. just sheer feeling kept me from going. The guy ran the light way way after it changed too because when I went the light changed yellow
