A Brush With Death...
Yeah, and that is the gods honest truth. It's not a title to scare and I'm still shaken up about it.
As everyone knows, I was in Cleveland this past weekend. Was going to head home early on Sunday, but I ended up sleeping in a bit, then splurged on Chipotle. Since, well, Erie doesn't have them.
So I ended up getting on the road around 11am. And I get to the edge of Cleveland (right around Willoughby) and I can't finish the turn to get onto I-90 (for you Cleveland folks -- it's right where 271 and 90 meet to then head into Mentor). And I couldn't get onto I-90, the exit was blocked due to an accident.
Do the detour and after a little bit of running around, I manage to get onto I-90. And... I see the accident. There... wasn't anything left of this car. It was basically destroyed, on its roof and the guardrail was completely torn up. So I was a bit wibbly on the way home, especially thinking that, if I would have left earlier it could have been me in that accident.
Didn't think much about it. Then Dad brings home the paper and on the front page... is the accident. Guy from Cleveland going to school at Mercyhurst. And yes, the accident was fatal.
I'm... yeah. Talk about something to give you a shiver.
