Screech, Turn, Crash
So I’m walking home EB on Adams from Hoover after dropping off some Netflix films in the corner mail box when I hear a “screeech”—I turn around quickly to witness a crash with a satisfying and disturbing crunching & squealing noise; a dk red Nissan sedan hits the RR fender of a white Geo Tracker as it makes a lt turn onto NB Hover from Adams as the light turns red. Someone else calls 911 and LAFD arrives code 3 a few minutes later. Both drivers are okay and I stick around to be a witness for LAPD after LAFD leaves, but the drivers work it out amongst themselves so no report taken. Turns out the driver of the white vehicle is a teacher who went to USC film school many years ago and has lived in the neighborhood ever since—and says he’s never had any problems in 16 years living in the area (inferring that this is because of the top-rated police force in the area), whereas compared to when he lived in Silverlake his house was broken into three times. At any rate, I do get a couple stills of the aftermath on 5274 for cinematography class. I wonder how they’ll turn out.
