On the way home this evening I was hailed by a driver in an Excusion. He asked me to stop at the local Ford dealer to see an 06 all black GT. In the body shop.
#1 son and I stopped and saw a very badly wrecked vehicle. Front back both sides. Bent wheels and suspension.
It seems that the owner of the dealership was driving this car. A man in a Nissan p/u willfully, and without any known reason, turned into the r rear of the GT causing it to spin out at 70 mph. Car went across 5 lanes of traffic, hit the concrete barrier, caroomed back across the same 5 lanes and hit the rear of the car on the concrete barrier. A real mess, Fortunately the driver was not injured.
This was witnessed by an State Patrolman in an unmarked car. He went after the p/u, which eventually stopped and the driver went on the run for quite a ways. Officer caught him and arrested him.
His comments about the accident were based on his dislike of the nationality of the driver. Sad commentary on racism. The driver was of Hindu heritage. Sometime today the p/u truck drivers' mother called the dealership. She berated them for selling such a nice car to "someone like that". The GT driver btw has a number of dealerships - Ford,Lexus, Nissan and an exotic specailty store. From what I've been told he is really nice guy and very giving to the community.
The driver of the truck lives at home with his mother. He's something like forty eight years old. Mother is mid-sixties. Must have been a hell of bad home to be brought up in.
Please be careful out there. There's more like him out there.
