Yesterday I saw a car accident when I was leaving the Rec Center. It happened right in front of me, not more than 15 feet away. There was a blue Ford Focus coming down the parking lot and a Ford truck that was backing out of its parking spot. The guy driving the truck just hit the gas, swung out of his spot, and crunched in a headlight on the Focus. The man driving the car had no time to react - he stepped on his brakes but wasn't even able to honk in time. I had one of those slow-motion moments and yelled to the driver of the truck, but it was too late. Everyone was shocked for a second, but then both parties just parked their vehicles and began exchanging information. I was glad to see that both of them were pretty calm about it. Remember - always look behind you when backing up, and proceed with caution. I think parking lots are just really accident prone.
