Just saw a malibu driving on the wrong side of the road on davis drive.... the guy probably realized he was going the wrong way, and just tried to hop the median, losing control and slamming into a tree.

Some motorists stopped and dragged the guy out of the car. A few minutes later it caught fire and blew up. The flames were pretty damn intense. From the time it started smoldering till it was fully engulfed in flames was a minute tops.

About 10 minutes after my coworker called 911, the morrisville fd showed up and put it out. wish i had my digital camera with me.

anyway, now my day is complete. I saw a car blow up. hope the dude is ok.

good post.

where exactly on davis drive?

12/12/2006 2:06:14 PM

Haha I'm surprised they got there in 10 minutes given that Davis Drive is such a shitty road to go on for extended periods of time.

I flipped my car on Davis drive one night, at the intersetion of Davis/Morrisville Carpenter. The cops where there in like 2 minutes.

That's where it starts to get better. Davis Drive near RTP is . I can't wait until they open the 540 extension in August.

I always thought exploding cars was a myth brought about by Hollywood.

12/12/2006 2:19:45 PM

Oh are you shitting me man?

The one time I went the back road through kit creek instead of through davis to Development dr and I miss the car on fire.

God damnit.

12/12/2006 2:21:22 PM

When I was about ten years old, I was at baseball practice and out of nowhere this car came hauling ass around a corner and slammed right into a tree. Everyone stopped playing and looked out towards the commotion and the car was all smoking and shit, but somehow the dude was okay and he just backed it up and kept hauling ass. I'm sure he didn't make it far because his radiator was fucked, but it was still funny and is probably the only thing I remember clearly from playing baseball back then.

^good story

nice to see that people helped him get out of the car, how bad did it "blow up"?

12/12/2006 5:41:04 PM

Car explodes in mini cary, but that's not cary.

12/12/2006 9:54:18 PM

where was your cell phone video camera at???

12/12/2006 10:12:10 PM

It was pretty amazing... I saw it when it blew up as well, from the other face of that building Bobby is just down from me.

Didnt think that much black smoke would come out of a little car.

Did you see him actually cross the median Bobby? I was wondering how he got over there.

Talk about a bad day.
