crash on 91 hwy!

I certainly had a shake up while i was driving out to LA last night. It was my birthday yesterday (march 8th) and i was meeting up with a friend out in L.A. I left around 11 pm and i was driving on the 91 west just before Euclid Ave and suddenly four cars in front of me slam on their brakes!!!! I saw two cars swerve to the left of me and another car hooked up to a van swerving to the right and ME right behind the van. I slammed on my brakes and began to skid, i turned my wheel slightly to the left to avoid and SOMEHOW, with all the wreckage that happened, my truck came out of this unscathed!!! The other four cars were totalled. One was on fire. I checked myself after the other cars in front of me were out of my way and i was more or less stopped in the middle of the freeway, i was just hoping no one was behind me to rear end me! Thank goodness there were no one, so i checked to see if my car could still drive and it could so i pulled over to the shoulder. I got out to see if everyone else was ok, They were. I called my wife and then 911. 3 tow trucks and a few CHP units and ambulences. Glass everywhere on the highway! bumpers fallen off vehicles and a car sideways into the wall. I got a little rubbin' on my right front tire and side of my truck, and that's all the outside damage i could see. I was shocked, i asked the cop to check for me cus i just couldn't believe it. There is damage internally i found out later that night when i finally drove off. My steering isn't aligned anymore. It's off by about 4 or 5 degrees. I have to hold my steering wheel a little to the left in order to go straight. But still, I really came out of that thing the luckiest one.

I wonder if playing my nascar video games helped out at all? there are a few spots in the game where the point is to avoid wrecks. I did ok in those parts of the game....but i certainly did a good job in the real life scenario. but dang, what a wild ride is all i can say!

stayin rowdy on the 91!
