This weekend there was a horrific accident on Route 91 outside of my neighborhood. Luckily, we had made a Swenson's run, and were well clear of the area at the time of the accident. However, on arriving home, Rt 91 was closed and I had to take the back way into my development.
Stephanie noticed that there was crime scene tape roping off the area through the trees near Rt 91, so we walked out to see what was going on.
We found a gruesome scene - four cars completely destroyed, 12 police cars from all over the area, and a huge stretch of road roped off with police tape.
We found out from onlookers that an elderly man had been driving northbound on Rt 91 when he suffered a heart attack (or some other health problem) and lost control of his vehicle. He struck 3 other vehicles before careening off the road and into a hill that separates the road from the nearby houses.
We watched the swarm of police investigate the scene (including brining in a firetruck to lift a police photographer high in the air to take aerial shots of the cars) until they were about to remove the body of the elderly man...which we didn't need to see.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I like how you see crime scene tape in the woods and think, "Hmm, it would probably be a good idea to cross it and wander into the woods." Don't you know that's how horror movies start?
