yeah apparently 2 ppl were racin up 400 between haynes bridge and winward last night. not sure of the exact details, but apparently one of them lost control, swiped another car which, in turn, hit a DOT truck WITH A GUY INSIDE then the DOT truck got pushed back into traffic thus being struck again. so it was a pretty big mess. anyone know anymore details? like, anybody we know? i think they both got caught. not sure.

DOT worker hit by driver reportedly drag racing

By MICHAEL PEARSON
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 01/31/06

A Georgia Department of Transportation worker suffered minor injuries this morning when a motorist lost control, allegedly while drag racing through a Ga. 400 work zone with another vehicle, and struck the pickup truck in which the worker was sitting.

The accident happened around 4:30 a.m. in the northbound lanes of Ga. 400 near Northridge Road in Sandy Springs, according to DOT spokeswoman Randi Johnson.

"It appears that two cars were racing northward on Ga. 400," said DOT spokeswoman Vicki Gavalas, who added that all lanes of the busy roadway were open by 7 a.m.

Fulton County police spokesman Cpl. Gary Syblis did not immediately return a message seeking information on the accident, but Johnson said police caught the driver who struck the DOT pickup. It was unclear what happened to the other driver.

Johnson said the worker, whose identity has not been released, was injured when one of the racing vehicles clipped a tractor-trailer, careened onto the shoulder and pushed the worker's pickup truck into traffic — where it was struck by another vehicle that was not involved in the race.

The driver whose vehicle struck the DOT truck fled, according to Johnson, but was later caught by police. It's unclear what charges the driver faces.

The worker suffered only minor injuries, according to Johnson, and was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment. She did not know what hospital or whether the worker had been released.

I dont see how the guy drove off, after smaking into a truck that hard. His radiator probably got fucked and he drove off anyway, eventually getting caught somewhere down the road, after his car overheated.

So? For those that know me, they know that it was a joke. For those that don't know me, I don't really care what they think.
