I said that guy is going to kill someone! 5 minutes later as we were pulling into the park we saw the accident about 100-200 yards up the road, it had just happened moments before. debris everywhere and one truck was on fire and no responders had arrived yet but could hear sirens in the distance. Residents of the park were coming out to see what the loud crash was, and than emergency personel arrived and blocked off rt.11 from johnsons to the circle and detoured traffic to old bay rd. We went to bed after midnight and the reconstruction team were still on scene. many surrounding towns had responded including the d.a.r.t. helicopter landed at johnsons for transport.

WOW!! I can't believe you were that close and a witness to the cause of that horrific accident!

I'm sure it's not a good feeling to witness something like that but it certainly could of been a lot worse for you considering you were seconds away from disaster!

Someone was looking out for you Riverat!!
