Jettisoned




I failed to remember to bring my camera when i walked down to the Hill Country event with my friends...So when Jenny and the others had to leave, I charged my camera and drove back down to the event. About a half a block away from the intersection i saw smoke rising from the street and a few people running in panic and stopping traffic. When i reached the corner i witnessed what seemed to be an awesome car crash just seconds after its occurrence.

Unfortunately, such events aren't uncommon...but there were a few bizarre things about this crash. A. there was one car...and its front end was obliterated. B. the engine of the car had been literally Jettisoned from the car about 20 yards away.

In addition, a traffic light lay on the sidewalk in pieces. The woman didn't seem to be injured but the site was of substantial devastation. None of us at the scene could really make sense of it...we had no idea how the whole event could have happened. It seemed like the woman must have been going terribly fast...and how the hell did she manage to hit the traffic light...and how the hell did that engine fly out of her car like that. All a bit nuts.
