Big Crash

This evening I was going thru email when I heard a strange, unnatural noise. It sounded a bit like a muzzled car crash. It was different from the screeching tire sound we often hear that wafts down Fillmore from Ridgeland Avenue. It sort of sounded like sound effects from a computer game. But then came the glaring red-and-blue lights of emergency vehicles and in a flash I knew this was real. This was the scene on Fillmore just east of our alley:

An SUV went up against Ted's parked Porsche Cayenne and lost badly. The fire department used the jaws of life to free the driver, and then they whisked him off to the hospital.
