Like a Movie Scene

Last night was crazy and weird. Clint works until 11, so I went to pick him up. We were almost home, when we heard a big smack. We'd been having storms (the lightning was amazing!), so we thought it was thunder. All of a sudden, a little white car comes flying by us with its back end completely smashed. He'd been rear-ended by a little red pickup truck, on PURPOSE! The truck kept ramming into the back of the white car, pushing it across University (a main road in Mesa, AZ-for those out of state) and down our street. The two vehicles came to a stop inside of a parking lot, and the two men in the truck jumped out and went running towards the white car, fists flying! Holy Cow!! Clint slammed on his brakes and turned around to go BACK so that he could get in the middle of the fight! Um, no. I was on the phone with 911, trying to describe the scene, and keep Clint in the car. With this kind of stuff, I always think worst case scenario. I'm thinking they could have weapons, like guns and such. I'm thinking if he jumps out of the car and leaves me alone in it, and they want a getaway vehicle bad enough, we could be carjacked with ME still in the car. He got mad at me because I wouldn't let him go fight, but I just lost my stepfather, I really don't want to lose my husband. After a couple minutes (and still on the phone with 911) we drove toward the scene, and the white car was gone. How? I have NO idea, because it was smashed really bad. It didn't look driveable. The truck had been abandoned. I did notice one guy running from the scene on foot, and I let the operator know that. The cops were on the scene almost immediately. I did notice that they were stopped just down the street, so I think that maybe they'd found at least one of the guys who'd left on foot. Anyway, the truck was smashed really bad, we saw the damage really close up. 911 asked if i'd scene which way the white car went, and I hadn't---but I told him it had BAD backend damage. The trunk was in the backseat!

The whole experience was like something from a movie scene. They almost hit us, while taking out their stupid teenager/gangbanger(?) anger on each other. It could have been just road rage. I have no idea. I just know the some people don't think of the people their actions could affect. They could have very possibly killed someone if it had escalated at all. Thank goodness for our police! :)
