Road Closed...Flying Car?
April 21, 2011 11:04 PM

It took me a couple hours to get home today when it should have taken only 20min because of yet another incident right in front of my apartment complex. (no I didn't get on the news this time :-) I was only 2500ft from my house and the giant 5 lane wide Old Hickory Road was closed in both directions! Traffic was rerouted through all the housing developments where of course there are no traffic lights, it was an absolute mess.
After taking several route deviations, sitting in traffic for ever, and cursing up a storm I finally got home. I then grabbed my camera and proceeded to investigate.

At the site I saw downed power lines being restrung and a crazy path of destruction in the woods. If you look at the pics, you can see the trees and shrubs are all broken quite high up, so the victim here must have been doing like 120mph over the hill, lost control, and litterally flew off the road. God knows how high he must have gotten off the ground for the telephone poll to have snapped 20 feet up like that!

According to the news stations, the road was blocked from 2pm till 8pm! I can't imaging how bad the gridlock must have gotten. It also said the accident was caused by a dump truck, but I don't believe that, I still think it was a flying car!
