That sucks. Was he drunk? Or was it the snow?
Neither. Young kid, turned the corner in front of my house, something slid off his dash and got the wheel stuck and he panicked and hit the gas instead of the brake. Roads were fine, so it wasn't weather related.
I assumed he was your next door neighbor and he judged the driveway incorrectly. In reality, he had absolutely no business being there. THROW THE BOOK AT HIM!
Nah, we live on a corner, so the house faces south while the driveway and garage face west. He came around that corner turning right and just kinda kept right on turning. Though, apparently, he was coming from his sister's house, and she only lives a couple houses down the street. Never saw her before, not exactly the way I was hoping to meet a neighbor.
A few years ago, we removed a huge ginko tree that sat right in front of that fence. If he'd done this before we took it down, I imagine the night would've ended very differently for him. Though, the fence would've been safe.
