The Boy Racer and My Letterbox.
At 8.00pm tonight I was sitting looking at KB when I hear the sound of tyres spinning,big time...WTF I think and start to get up,then I hear a HUGE bang,or atleast several of them - there has been a major accident outside and I race out to see.We are on a corner section and I'm not sure which road it's on,so go out the back and race around the front of the house - a car has lost it on the corner,come sideways across our front lawn,taking the letterbox clean of - we later find it on the front steps of the house next door...it hit their wall and bounced off.The Boy Racer Familia then went sideways through the corrogated iron fence with 6in posts,it was flung back on itself like it was a gate,it took out the neighbours letterbox and 6x6 post,this was found on the bonnet of another car - it also took the wooden powerpole completely off,just a stump on the ground,powerlines across the road.Just absolute fucking kaos!!!!!
In the flat next door live my daughters(the eldest and her boyfriend were with me)The youngers boyfriend ran out the front door yelling at Elsie to ring the police,she tries but the phone is dead,Jason is an Army Medic and someway to being a doctor and is nearly the first on the scene - the passenger is upside down with his head under the passenger dash,his feet over the drivers seat,Jason starts checking him out and he wakes up,but just lies there,at this stage I'm at the car trying to figure out the scene.
Some abuse is being yelled at another car and right in front of me is an arguement,and older guy telling a boy to just fuck off outa here,I see him jump in his car and wheelspin off,the mother turns up sceaming,a girlfriend,his mates,a totaly confusing madhouse,but I piece it together.In 5 minutes fire appliances are there,ambulance at the same time and police a minute or two later...impressive.
What happened - two cars racing down Universal Drive from Lincoln Rd,the Mazda lost it at Rathgar Rd and started to spin,this is why I though they were doing a donut,there are 4 wheel tracks the cops marked out on the road as he came sideways up the curb and over our front lawn,through the fence and taking out the powerpole,slamming into 3 cars parked in front of the house next door,they are all damaged,the first hit a right off for sure,then it spun and smashed into the deck of the house,just missing a 4th car.This driver was really upset as he had just moved it seconds before,today he was at the funeral of a mate and children,killed in a crash,he reckons he doesn't want to drive again.
A puzzle to me is why all the friends and relatives appeared on the scene so quickly,but they live in Rathgar Rd and could see the accident from the house,but some were there at the same time as me,who lived right next door - I think they may have been spectating the ''race''.The other car appeared later,down the side road outside our place.Must of been a dozen cops,interviewing everyone there,but not me or Jason who apart from those in the house hit were the first there.
I might have a late night,they are putting in a new pole already - right outside my bedroom.
Oh,the driver? I couldn't believe he was still alive and not a mark on him,Jason says he has a broken sternum and ribs,he sure didn't like the bouncing on the stretcher,but the could be other injuries - the seat was layed back boy racer style,good for control eh and means the seat belt doesn't work.Another thing - why did Mum and girlfriend and brother and uncle hang around? Surely a trip into hospital to see how he is would be top of the list?
So - what did you do tonight?
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
