Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

Traffic was snarled last night around 8:30pm (Tuesday) on Hillsborough Avenue as a westbound car careened across the median, three lanes of oncoming traffic, a light pole, a FENCE, and impacted in our apartment building and into a neighbor’s kitchen.

My building. Like right next door to my place. Eight feet further and the car would have lodged in my 18 month old son Jaxon’s crib. Needless to say, my wife, an overly nervous mommy to begin with, was not amused.

Not seen any media coverage of the crash, though there were helicopters overhead. The car mainly went through the window frame of the kitchen in the apartment adjacent to mine. SO damage to the building’s structure seems minimal. The car was crushed by the big metal streetlight pole. The driver had minor injuries.

The residents of the apartment were in their bedroom at the time of impact and also escaped injury. However, the woman who lived there had just been released from the hospital with heart problems. So they took her in as a precaution.

Crazy, man!

Editor’s note: ATTENTION ALL STICKS WRITERS! Please be ready for some disaster to your home. Joel’s next-door neighbor had a fire. Now Dave’s next-door neighbor has a drive-thru. Bad things happen in threes.
