Flipped and Burned
Traffic slows
flashing lights appear
off to the right
other side of the road
a faint trail of smoke
rising from the tree-line
Ambulances, fire trucks, and police
the emergency triumverate
And there it lays
on its side in the grass
roof crushed
blackened by the fire
looks to have once been a Dodge
a painful end for a strong truck
Never saw the driver
did they live
did they die
been there, done that
flashes through my mind
I can laugh about it
but can they
It's officially called Technology Corridor
but to those that drive it
brave it every day
it is known as
Accident Alley
we have all seen them flipped and burned
we have all met the emergency triumverate
Based on the aftermath of an accident I saw this morning. I really have been there before, I got lucky there was no fire when mine happened.
