Almost Home

At the Mill Lake car show this past summer.
 
Yesterday I noted how caution was necessary on our commute. Today it was uneventful, until very near the end. Only three blocks from home, we noticed multiple police and emergency vehicles in our lane just ahead. We drove slowly by and noticed that a motorist had veered off the road, crashed through a fence, and vaulted down a very steep and very large embankment. The angle was so steep that we could not see the vehicle, but there were many bystanders pointing and looking in the direction of the bottom of the hill. The fire/rescue truck was just arriving so we proceeded, with caution, the rest of the way home.
'They' say that most accidents happen within a mile of home. This was closer than that, and I was thankful that it was not us at the bottom of the slope.
