Carmageddon in a G35

  In 2005 I was on a flag stand working traffic in the mountains of eastern San Diego County. Just then am old man and his wife came by my closure at a high rate of speed, and ran my stop sign but stopped eventually. I held him up for about 10 minutes to slow him down. A couple hours later were finished working, and eating lunch. We were dispatched up the road to do a closure for a car accident. I was on the flag stand again, and a Forest Service officer asked if I had seen the car, I replied that I had, They wanted me to come and identify the car for more possible victims. Apparently, from what I gleaned from the CHP officer working the scene, this G35 missed a turn, went off the highway, hit and sheared off a 4 foot diameter oak tree, then was pitched around another. The the CHP told me from the skid marks, not from braking, but from skidding, the car left the road at 140 plus mph. I went up looked at the car, and the old woman from earlier was sticking out from the sunroof. The entire roof pancaked, and her head came through the sun roof. I looked around for the old man, and the CHP asked me if there was more victims in the car. Not seeing the old man, I said yes, there is an old man. I told the CHP that he is wearing racing cloves, and they had on matching Hawaiian print shirts. The CHP asked me how long ago I had seen them and where, I told him that too. Turns out is was about 30 minutes after they left me, that they had this accident. They took the old lady out, and the old man was crumpled up underneath her. Both deceased, and in some gruesome shape. I watched until they were taken away. The Forest Service Supervisor told me that a psyche doc was coming up tomorrow to talk about it if I wanted to sit in. I told him that if I had nightmares I would. I thought about it, I asked my Supervisor, and he let me attend on state time. It was a very interesting process, We sat around and talked about what we had seen. I haven't had any adverse effects from that.
