Well it looks like I was finally witness to an accident this afternoon. I had just left work and was driving down a short street connecting two one-way streets. I happened to notice that there were two cars that were very close together going the opposite direction (though this fact never reached my consciousness). As I am passing them I hear a car slamming on their brakes (probably 20-30mph) and a loud crunch. A second later I see the two drivers (both female and about my age) get out of their vehicles. Seeing this I drive around the block to get back on the street.
Here's where it gets interesting.
As I approach the car Girl #1 from the lead vehicle is behind her door talking on the phone. Girl # 2 is doing the same a couple feet behind her. Number 1 is talking to the police, #2 is talking to someone else. After a few seconds Girl #1 says to me (in a kind of urgent yet hushed voice) to "look at her arms." I glance that way and see that she has a little bit of blood on them. A few seconds later girl # 1 asks #2 "what happened to your arms." The girl responds by showing her forearms and saying "I tried to kill myself." Now what I could not see from my angle is that girl # 2 (henceforth refered to as "Crazy") had sliced (near to the bone) both arms about a dozen times, making both look like a set of fish gills.
I told you it was interesting.
At this point I am pondering dialing 911 if the other girl has not already, but she apparently told the police as less than a minute later a police car shows up. Followed by a fire truck. And an ambulance. Crazy is taken away to be looked at/locked up in a mental institution. One of the cops came over and took my statement and I went to leave. Oh, I should also mention that Crazy apalogised somewhere between 100 and 150 times before the police even showed up (so in less than five minutes), giving a good indication that she was on something, has serious phychological issues, or both.
I then proceed to leave. Of course, my truck doesn't start. One good deed, three hours, and a $200 alternator later I am home.
