Wake up calls

This morning, I found a mess at the end of my driveway.

Someone had been traveling eastbound on my street. I am on the south side, so they were running right along my property. Something caused them to swerve off the road and take out the mailbox just before mine. they continued into the ditch which runs about four feet deep. The tire tracks show the car running on the bank facing my house and behind my mailbox.

The interesting thing is that the ditch ends on the left side of my driveway when facing the road. The driveway is shored up by a nice block and concrete wall. Well, this block wall was now in my yard on the right side of my driveway. They had somehow driven along the face of that bank and hit the wall hard enough to smash it, send it flying twelve feet and drive out of the ditch. I can’t imagine how they were able to drive away after such an impact.

I can imagine that alcohol or another substance was involved.

The driver has been given a second chance. He has also been given a wake up call.

We all get them.

It is best to heed them.

One thought on “Wake up calls
