Every so often, despite the street
light, there will be a collision at Quadra and Fort in Victoria, near where I
live, though interestingly these collisions never seem to happen when a power
outage turns the street lights off.
This morning I was watching the
movie Gamebox 1.0, a movie when some action in it, when I heard a crashing
sound that didn’t seem to be coming from my speakers (that there were no cars
in the scene I was watching was also a telltale clue). Either a truck crossing
Fort had run a red light or a van crossing Quadra had done so, resulting in the
collision. Interesting contrast since the truck was white and the van was
black. There were no ambulances so
apparently no one was hurt too badly.
More surreal was that of the time
in 2010 a car drove through a red light on Fort St, same intersection, and
actually crashed into a police van, putting two female police officers into the
hospital. When I saw this I quickly realized that the van had to be what was hit because I heard the crash, could only find one car that wasn't a police car, and noticed that the police van was there too soon after it happened not to have been what was hit. Not sure what happened to the
police officers but if the driver of the car was smart, she would have plead
guilty since the courts would be unlikely to be sympathetic.
