Be careful out there....

A coworker just relayed a traffic accident that happened right it front of her in the commute this morning from Fremont to San Jose on 880 freeway. Seems a semi truck had some kind of altercation with a car with three women inside. Car burst into flames...women were burned very badly...my coworker stopped and tried to help...women seemed to be so burned that they might not make it (as it happens with bad burns). Their clothes were burned off them...very very bad. Many people stopped to help...but not much they could do. VERY VERY bad accident.

I post this because I see screwy things on that commute every day...stupid things...people being unaware...I hope that this post makes you think twice about haulin *** on the freeway...with tons of regular people around with varying level of driving skills. Just hope this never happens to you.

Be careful out there...and consider taking your energy to the track and driving schools.

very close to your house. Good thing you leave earlier. Freeway closed after Decoto. By the time

I hit the road (8:15), I heard one fatality, one still trapped, and the life line chopper landing on the freeway. Scary stuff. You can see it from the Thornton overpass.
