Yesterday was a strange day. Maybe it was the full moon?

My husband and I decided to go out and get some dinner. We’re driving through downtown San Mateo and had to stop because a car coming the opposite way wanted to pull in to an angled parking space on our side of the road. Surely the driver would have to back up & straighten her car out at some point, but did she? Nope. She hit a black pickup in the next space. Even that wasn’t enough to get her to go in reverse though, she gave it more gas and pushed the other car out of the way, shaking it all over the place, and finished pulling into her space. As we drove by we could see the door and side panel on the truck was all scratched and and had a huge dent. I would have stopped but there were no other parking places and the traffic was really congested. A lot of people were around who witnessed the accident though. I’m hoping the driver did the right thing and left her contact information on the dented truck.

We eventually ended up in Burlingame and parked in the CalTrain lot where there were a bunch of restaurants to choose from across the street. There was no traffic light to cross the road at, but there was a crosswalk with lights in the road to warn drivers when people were in the crosswalk. There actually wasn’t much traffic, just one car pretty far off, but we pressed the button to turn on the crossing lights and started across the road. Next thing we know there are screeching tires and the one car that had been far off was almost on top of us. That would have sucked if we were hit.

Maybe the driver that almost ran us over was the same one who hit the pickup, out eliminating any witnesses? Hmmm… Yesterday was a strange day!
