As if my life isn't weird enough already... It was a petite young woman in her early 20's. She was in the middle of a psychotic episode when she hit my car. She lived a block and a half away and her neighbors said she redlined it before she threw it in gear. There is a stop sign between her house and mine and she blew through it and was still picking up speed when she hit my car.
She got out of the car and was clearly upset which I thought would subside in a minute. It didn't because she was going through an "episode". It actually got worse. I'm a pretty calm guy so I didn't make the situation worse. My car got smashed but honestly it's just "stuff" and "stuff" can be replaced.
Anyway my wife called the police about a regular traffic accident. Then the psychotic episode really manifested itself. The young girl started banging her head on the pavement, no kidding. In the end, I had 6 cop cars and an ambulance in front of my house. The girl wasn't physically hurt but she was just nuts.
In a side note, when the tow truck came to pick up my car he said he couldn't get it while it was against the fence. He asked me if it would start. I said I didn't know and jumped in to see. It fired right up and I backed it away from the fence.
He was having a tough time figuring out how to pick up the car. He then just jumped in it and drove it in a u turn up to the back of his truck so he could grab it. I was shocked but it drove right over there. It might not look like it but that little car is built like a tank.
