Wow, ok, here's what happened. Sarah (my lovely girlfriend) and her family where driving to a friends trailer to go camping yesterday, and they got into a car accident. I'll tell you now, everyone is ok and relativly unharmed. (thank god) Except for some airbag burns, and sore bodies, they are ok. Here's what happened

Coming into town, Sarah's dad tried to stop at a red light, but the brakes didn't work. They swerved, hit another car and went into the curb. The other car went into a gas station, and took out a gas pump. Luckily, nothing ignited and there was no explosion.

The Van was inspected afterwards, and there was no brake fluid whatsoever in the brakelines. This is weird, because on their way by, the stopped in at Liquidation World to shop and visit, and the brakes where working just fine then. 5 cops and 3 fireman have confirmed a rock flew up and punctured a hole in the brake lines, causing them to fail at the red light and drain so quickly.

A few things are still up in the air, and criminal charges are suposedly 'pending'. What got me the most was the way the cops dealt with Sarah's dad. One walked up to him, said he could smell the booze on him, and accused him of slamming a few back while driving. Once he blew a 0 on the breathelizer, they shut right up there. They're also tossing around the idea he did this on purpose. What the hell....

I found all this out last night around midnight, so I took the day off from work today to go see her. We hung out, watched some movies, it was good. Everyone's just really releived nobody got anything worse then some bumps and burns. I mean, given the situation, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.
