Last night I saw up close one of the worst in person accidents I have ever seen, I was riding with Mike coming back from up island. We were in the third lane doing about 10mph waiting to get into the HOV lane, I happened to look at the cars flying by at about 65-70 next to us that were already in the HOV, a red SUV went by and caught my eye. As I watched it pass it took a sudden hard right and hit another SUV two cars ahead of us, it was surreal the hit was so hard both SUV's jumped up a couple of feet. The one from the HOV lane flipped side ways then onto its roof and skidded about 75-100 feet in a shower of sparks, it was hit by the guy behind him as it was rolling onto its roof. Luckily we stopped before all the debris, the front wheel and A frame along with the spring were laying in the road in front of us. I looked a the gut that got hit first the whole left corner was caved and the wheel pushed part way into the left rear door, he being a 4X4 was able to power off the road out of the way. We managed to get around and away as people were looking into the flipped one to check on the people. Like I said the absolute worst in person hit I have seen and only was two cars from hitting us!!
