Crash

We have another traffic story...

On the way to school there is a four lane road that we have to cross. Each lane is separated by planting strips and in the middle there is a good size park. We rarely make it all the way across one one light. This day was no different, we where standing on the planting strip waiting for the next light in the pouring rain. It had started to sprinkle when we left the house but by the time we got to the big road it was pouring.

That is when it happened...A car stopped, still not sure why the car stopped, at the green light. It was a good two minutes before anything happened. The car was just waiting there for no known reason when a car behind started to hit their brakes. They seemed to not have there eyes on the stopped car. There was a point when we thought the car would stop but then the driver seemed to take his foot off the brake. The ran right into the stopped car with a light crash that only happens when plastic hits plastic.

Both cars seemed undamaged but as Tim and I where walking the rest of the way to school we realized that was the first accident that we have ever seen. I have kind of been in an accident but I was asleep and it involved ice on the road and a trailer jack-knifing. In the states we have see the results of an accident but never it happening. What are the odds of us seeing two collisions in a month and a week?
