My jumpy day driving to and from work...

[lisamoe]

So today on the very same stretch of south Peoria, I saw a three-car wreck (at about 2:00) and a hit and run (just after 5:00) The wreck at 2 was a couple of cars behind me and it was a little unnerving just because it could have been me if I'd been a few seconds slower, but the thing at 5 has left me really pretty shaky. A green minivan swerved across traffic into a parking lot, almost hitting a black sedan along the way, and then ran right into a man standing in the parking lot (I had my windows down for the nice weather and got to hear the thud, yuk) and then tore down off a neighborhood street. It looked very deliberate, not like a car out of control. I pulled in to where it happened and the guy was bleeding all over the place, but not dead. He was breathing and trying to get up but I couldn't understand what he was trying to say. It was kind of garbled. Some other folks had run up and were keeping him still and a store nearby called 911, so there was nothing I could do but wait for the police to give them my name as a witness. After the cops came and I left I thought I was fine, but then noticed on the way home that I was getting startled by things I wouldn't normally even notice, and I still feel really freaked out and jumpy and like I have a potential migraine coming on.
