On the way to get my haircut this afternoon, I saw the recent aftermath of a car accident.
The officers were just arriving on scene to divert traffic. The slickness of the road probably contributed, although it was not raining at the time (nor had it been raining for several hours). One SUV had spun out and crashed into the road divider, while pieces of the colliding SUV was scattered across 3 lanes of traffic. While on a highway this would not be a rare occurance, it was on a residential surface street.
After the haircut as I was driving back to work, I saw a police pull over a Mercedes for speeding along Marine Parkway. The cops have been surveiling that stretch of road for a few weeks now -- this makes the 4th or 5th citation in the last couple of weeks.
