If you’ve ever been involved in a car accident, be it major or minor, you know that it often happens in a flash. In movies, especially action dramas, time seems to slow down during a crash, time often behaves in the opposite manner for those that experience it in real life. Most involved in an accident don’t even remember how it happened. It’s as if time skipped for them.
But, once the accident is over, and the reality of the event settles in, things often seem to slow down again. And this is good, since many accidents leave a life-or-death puzzle for those involved, including first responders, to figure out.
In an accident that happened on Wednesday afternoon in Westwood, this puzzle required the fire department to work to free those that were trapped in the wreckage.
