Road Rage...to the Max!

Okay. So I seriously have only watched things like this happen on t.v. and I never thought I would watch it in person, let alone call the cops. But let's start at the beginning...

So I was at home, enjoying my first day of break. My dad has been wanting to buy home alone 2 but it has been no where in LR: best buy, target, wal-mart, even our video stores. So yesterday, he decides to tell Laura and me we need to drive to Conway to buy the movie (that's right. Drive 30 minutes for a movie). We were okay with that; we figured it would just be a fun car ride and not take over an hour. Unbeknownst to Laura or me, we would travel to both wally worlds to find it had been sold out. After spending forever trying to get out of either of the parking lots (all thanks to Christmas traffic [yes. It is probably the one thing I despise about Christmas because other than the traffic I love the season]), we traversed across town to Target where we spent a grand total of 45 minutes trying to get through town and the PARKING LOT with less than 10 minutes in the store after we found the movie only came in bulk with all four home alone videos (did anyone else know there was a fourth one?). We gave our last shot by going across the street (which took at least 20 minutes) to finally strike gold: they had the movie and it was on its own! After two hours of searching, we went to sonic for refreshment and headed home.

Then... DUN DUN DUN...the fun began...

I had been driving in the right lane when I started catching up to a truck. So I check my mirrors, see I can get in front of a black Forerunner, and move into the left lane. For some odd reason, the Tahoe that had been tailing me decided they had to stay behind me, continued to tail me, and in the process hit the front of the Forerunner. I freak out and got in the right lane ASAP. Both cars take off, with the Forerunner tailing the Tahoe while trying to signal them and do many other things to get them to pull over. I didn't know if I should do anything since both cars were drivable but the drivers were being crazy, and since my dad had gotten frustrated with me and Laura (we called him several times while we were in Conway), I decided to call Matt.

While talking to Matt, we decided it was best that I just leave it alone, especially because the cars had sped ahead of me. However, in the process of figuring it out, I was watching the cars ahead of me. The Tahoe had decided to get in the right lane and the Forerunner was riding neck and neck with the Tahoe. For what reason, I have no clue. In that instant, the Tahoe, pulls in the lane with the Forerunner, hitting the Forerunner. I watch the Tahoe continue driving while the Forerunner fishtales and does several donuts before finally ending up in the median. I start screaming "OH MY GOSH!" while Laura is saying something on the phone to one of her friends. I get off the phone with Matt to call the cops, am told to go back to the other vehicle since I was a witness and wait for a state trooper. Unfortunately, I had past my last exit until I had reached LR, so I have to go a good 8 miles before I can find a place to turn around. When I finally turn around and arrive back at the scene, the Forerunner is gone.

Apparently, no one was hurt in the vehicle or they didn't care. I have no idea. I just know that now I sound like I'm making stuff up to the cops. However, it made for an interesting day yesterday. Two hours of searching for a movie and finding it all to culminate in an extreme case of road rage with cars that drive away from an accident.

Fun times.
