Things That Go Bump In The Night

Got home from work tonight to find the street closed off by an ambulance and fire truck. I thought that the old man that lived across the street had another one of his attacks..Went the long way around and was parked when I saw what had happened. Now I asked around and was told that the car flipped twice and hit a parked car and pushed it into another car. The driver and passenger got out and walked away. Driver didn't want to go to the hospital and tried to walk away...Well run away because about this time Momma showed up..and Momma wasn't happy. Seems daughter borrowed her car and did THIS....Also the what I believe was a 17 year old female is going to have a great excuse for not turning in her algebra homework...Its all blowing down the street now..I haven't heard the why or how she flipped it but I'm betting that Momma ain't going to let her child anywhere near a car for a long long time.

One person was injured late Thursday when the car she was riding in crashed into a parked vehicle and flipped onto its top, police say.
The crash occurred about 11 p.m. in the 1500 block of Iowa Street.
A witness to the crash, Tim Davenport, 21, who lives in a house near where the crash occurred, said the driver of the car was southbound on Iowa Street traveling at a high rate of speed.
Davenport said the driver lost control, slammed into a pickup parked on the west side of the street. The Sebring then flipped over onto its top.
Several females were in the vehicle at the time, police said. Debris from the Sebring littered the ground, and included an Algebra I notebook.
One of the females in the car was taken to Genesis Medical Center-East Rusholme Street, Davenport, for treatment of minor injuries.
"Look at that truck," Davenport said, pointing to the Chevrolet 1500 pickup that belongs to his neighbor, Tom Lott.
The back axle of the pickup was severely bent when the Sebring struck the back driver's side tire. The impact pushed the pickup a couple of feet into a minivan also owned by Lott. How much damage the minivan suffered was not known late Thursday.
Also, an Oldsmobile Cutlass Sierra, parked on the east side of the street and also owned by Lott, may have suffered damage, too.
"That's the vehicle I wish they would have totaled," said Lott with a chuckle as he pointed at his Cutlass. "We just got the truck a month ago."
Davenport said that, "Everybody speeds along here," he said of that portion of Iowa Street. "It's even more fun when it's icy."
The crash remains under investigation by Davenport police.
