One time Rick and I came suddenly upon a 4 car wreck that had JUST happened. It was night time, very dark, and it’s just the grace of God that we didn’t wreck too. We didn’t see it until we were literally flying past the one car that was knocked sideways in the left late. We immediately pulled over and got out. No one was hurt, and I told every one to put their flashers on!!! A couple of drivers looked at me like, “Whaaa?” I’m sure they were in shock. I said, ”Put your flashers on!!!” Then I told everyone to go stand out in the field, away from the wreck. I almost had to herd them like cattle.
As they did that, Rick pulled up on the left shoulder, facing any oncoming traffic and I started flashing our headlights while Rick stood in front of the headlights waving his arms…...we wound up with a line of cars stopped in front of us, then they slowly crept around the wrecked car in the road. We did that for about 10 minutes until the cops showed up.
After the police showed up one cop said, “You guys…that was good thinking. I’ll bet you saved some lives tonight!”
Right after that, as we were catching our breath and calming down (we weren’t flashing anything any more), another cop came up and said, “We HAVE this under control. You two can quit playing super hero and get out of here.” Asshole.
