Yep, that's what happened to our yard at about 12 today. An old man, ran a stop sign, hit a truck and then proceeded to take out our entire fence. Yet, he managed to miss all 3 of our cars, 2 electric poles and a giant tree.
The course he took, I still don't see how he missed all the cars and the poles. You can see how far up into the yard he was by looking at the tire tracks by Curt's truck.
He hit the back of our neighbors parked car and totaled it. But he barely missed the big tree that was right beside it. He took a small piece of the tree out. It could have been much worse for them. (Clare, this is the exact spot you were parked when we stopped at our house)
The truck he hit. That's the front of our house on the right.
The old man was driving the green car. There were two other people in the car and I think the lady thought she had broken her hand.
I just keep thinking about what would have happened if we had been in the back yard. The car came into our yard and wiped out the fence and almost hit Curt's Tahoe. Our dogs always stand next to the fence when they go outside and I don't even want to think about what would have happened if Max had been outside. It brings me to tears just thinking about it. *shudder*
The man had insurance thankfully, so we should be able to get the fence replaced. We are SO ready to move though. There are always wrecks at the intersection in front of our house. It was just a matter of time before something like this happened.
