Someone was having a bad day. While harvesting some milkweed seeds in our backyard I heard some screeching tires coming from the I-5 in the canyon below. Didn’t think anything of it at first since I’d heard it before. But this one lasted a bit longer and then I heard some muffled crunching. Ran over to the fence and first had trouble finding the accident. Then I noticed a couple of cars and a motorcycle stopping at the side of the freeway to help. It was a dark, teal-colored van that had luckily rolled off the freeway into the grass and shrubs on the hillside of the canyon. With the help of some good samaritans who stopped, a woman crawled out of the van and sat down on the ground. A police car must have been nearby because he showed up really quickly. It took an ambulance quite a while longer to show up, although when it did arrive the woman was able to walk back to the ambulance with a paramedic without any trouble.
